Stone stressed again! Is it difficult for the Rockets to make big moves during the offseason? I am reluctant to sell 7 sons in the city, or a minor repair or a minor repair

The Rockets have achieved their goal this season, which is to enter the playoffs. In fact, the Rockets have exceeded their mission this season. Not only did they enter the playoffs directly, they did not play in the playoffs, but they even rose to second place in the Western Conference. Although the Rockets' record was not good during Van Vreet's injury and suffered a six-game losing streak, after Van Vreet's recovery period ended for a month, the Rockets' record improved all the way, and finally returned from fifth in the West to second in the West, and maintained the second in the West until the end of the regular season.
The Rockets performed poorly in the playoffs, and it is understandable that young players such as Jaylen Green did not perform well, and Curry of the Warriors performed superbly, so although the Rockets scored a big score of 3:3, they still lost in the tiebreak battle. Many experts believe that the Rockets should chase a superstar in this offseason. Durant and Antetokounmpo are the Rockets' first choice. Star players such as Jaylen Brown, Morant, and even Trae Young, Zion Williamson have been mentioned many times. There are many simulated transactions that believe that the Rockets should chase them.
Rockets general manager Stone and management have emphasized on many occasions that the team wants to maintain the continuity of the lineup, in other words, the Rockets may not have too much trading moves. The Rockets' record this season is already excellent enough. As long as some fine adjustments are made on this basis and strengthen their shortcomings, the Rockets will not only make a comeback next season, ensure the regular season record and ranking, but also have the opportunity to go further in the playoffs.
After all, these young players of the Rockets are all in their early 20s, and they still have a long way to go in the future. The Rockets might as well try for another year. If these young players really can't break through the first round, it will not be too late to make big trades after next season.
Rockets general manager Raphael Stone directly stated in a recent interview that the Rockets are a team-based team and will not attack around a player. In that case, that player can score a lot of points and assists, but Uduka doesn't like to do that. The Rockets focus on the entire team, and there are many talented young players on the Rockets.
Before using their trades to become famous veterans, they must be given opportunities to grow. The Rockets' goal is to win the championship. If they can win the superstar and win the championship, the Rockets will pursue it. But at present, compared with maintaining the continuity of the lineup, the standard of chasing superstars and winning the championship is very high.
In other words, Manager Stone once again emphasized giving young players more opportunities. He believes that trading superstars is a feasible solution, but rather than maintaining lineup continuity and trusting these young players, the Rockets will obviously regard chasing superstars as their second choice.
In other words, the Rockets will find it difficult to have large-scale deals this summer, and they will not be able to pursue a superstar as everyone thinks. The Rockets may be more likely to maintain the integrity of the lineup and make small reinforcements in some key positions to enhance the Rockets' shortcomings. This may be the main move of the Rockets this summer.
