Rockets are interested in Antetokounmpo teammates? Western Conference 3 teams compete for 37-year-old center! Average 13+5 shots and can protect the basket, suitable for Shin Kyung

After the end of this season, the Houston Rockets finally realized the fact: they had to find a player who could score to lead the team forward. Although players like Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung and Van Vreet performed well in the regular season, in the playoffs, no one in the Rockets can stand up and score at critical moments. The Warriors have Curry and Butler, and the two superstars scored in turn, which made the Rockets very uncomfortable. This is also the reason why the Rockets want to win a superstar joining.

However, if you want to win the joining of top superstars like Antetokounmpo or Durant, the Rockets must break up their current lineup, which is probably unacceptable to the Rockets. However, there is another plan: the Rockets retain their current lineup and only make minor repairs in some positions, such as introducing some players who can score, so that the Rockets can still improve next season.

Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski talked about the current situation of the Bucks' free agents in a show. In his opinion, the Bucks' 37-year-old starting center Brooke Lopez has now become a free agent. Although he is no longer young, the Rockets, Warriors and San Antonio Spurs are still very interested in the big man who can shoot three points and defend the basket.

In fact, a few years ago, the Rockets almost signed Lopez. Originally, both sides agreed to sign the contract, but then Lopez changed his mind and stayed with the Bucks again and signed a new contract. At that time, in order to free up his salary space, the Rockets directly gave up three young players, Garuba, Tait Washington and Christopher. It can be said that Daluo "caught" the Rockets back then. Now, the Rockets are competing with two other Western teams for the Big Lopez, which shows that the Rockets appreciate Da Los Angeles very much. Everyone knows the situation of the Rockets now. Although they lack a star player, if they can get Lopez, the inside all-rounder who can average 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, at least their scoring ability will improve rapidly. The biggest problem for the Rockets now is that the main center Shin Kyung is not good at shooting, and whether it is three-pointers or mid-range shots, it is his weakness. If Lopez can join the Rockets, he can not only contribute stable blocks, but also make a large number of three-pointers. After all, Lopez, the Big Three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 37.3%, and he can still make 1.9 blocks per game.

In this way, if Adams cannot renew his contract with the Rockets, then Lopez will become an important choice for the Rockets. If Lopez is willing to join, the Rockets' inside line will be composed of Shin Kyung, Lopez and Langdale next season. While the Rockets' inside defense quality may decline, the outside world's three-point shooting and scoring ability will be much better than this season. After all, Adams is not very good at shooting and has limited offensive ability, while Lopez is an offensive expert on the outside and can also score in the inside.

Moreover, Lopez is tall and has first-class blocking ability. He can also share the pressure on the defensive end for the main center Shin Kyung. Moreover, the 37-year-old Lopez should not ask for a big contract. A middle-class contract can sign the famous player, and the Rockets will have a middle-class special case to use this summer.
