The legendary player suggested that the Rockets knock down and rebuild! Only 2 players are retained, and Durant is chasing! Group 3 giants compete for the championship

The lack of superstars is difficult for any team to go further in the playoffs. Just like today's Golden State Warriors, Curry may miss at least three games due to a hamstring injury. So in today's game against the Timberwolves, the Warriors, who lacked Curry, regrettably lost to the Timberwolves, and the playoff scores of the two teams have become 1:1.
In fact, for the Warriors, although they have star players like Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Butler is a very all-round player, and his scoring ability and explosive power on the scoring end are not outstanding. Without super shooters like Curry, it will be difficult for the Warriors to go further in the second round of the playoffs, and this is the role of the superstar. The reason why the Rockets were eliminated by the Warriors in the first round was that they suffered losses without superstars. Although the Rockets have an All-Star player, Alperen Shinkyung, in the playoffs, once Shinkyung is strictly guarded to double-team, it will be difficult for other Rockets players, especially guard Jaylen Green, to stand up and score. This is also the main reason why the Rockets were eliminated - the lack of a stable scoring point. Although Jaylen Green has the ability to score 30 points in a single game, his condition is unpredictable. In the playoffs, Jaylen Green averaged only 13 points per game, which was obviously unqualified for the Rockets' main attacker.
So, former Bucks star Brandon Jennings also called out to the Rockets in a show. In his opinion, the Rockets' offense is really bad, and they don't make three-pointers and no one can score stably, which is a huge shortcoming in the playoffs. If the Rockets want to go further and compete for the championship next season, in Jennings' view, the Rockets should completely knock it down and continue to rebuild. Although the Rockets have just successfully rebuilt after four or five years, many of these players have talent and it is difficult to convert their talents into motivation to win.
In Jennings' view, the Rockets will only retain two people next season: one is their All-Star center Shin Kyung, and the other is power forward Amen Thompson who performed very well in the Rockets' playoffs. Jennings said the Rockets have a lot of bargaining chips, but time is tight now. The Rockets lack projection ability. If he is the Rockets management, he will immediately push the Rockets down and rebuild, leaving only Amen and Shin Kyung, and then use them to make a big deal in exchange for Suns superstar Durant.
In Jennings's view, this approach is simple and crude, but very effective. The Rockets are not short of excellent role players now, and there are too many young players. They lack a superstar with super scoring ability. Obviously Durant is such a player. If Shin Kyung and Amen Thompson can be left behind, and Durant can be exchanged for some role players around these three giants, then the Rockets will have the possibility of a victory in the championship next season.
