The Rockets potential big deal is ruined? The coach shows up, and the newcomers continue to take the lead! It is difficult to adjust the teaming mode

After seeing the Rockets' performance in the first round of the playoffs, everyone knows that the Rockets now have nothing, no shortage of new players, no defensive players, and no shortage of tough head coaches. What they lack is a superstar with independent offensive ability and strong scoring ability. So, Durant, Morant, Antetokounmpo, and even the Suns' core Booker have become potential pursuit targets for the Rockets.
Although the Rockets have a lot of chips in their hands this summer, the Rockets management must consider whether to send so many chips out for superstars. Furthermore, are those so-called superstars willing to become members of the Rockets? This remains to be discussed. After all, there was news before that if the Bucks' Antetokounmpo is to be traded, he wants to go to some teams in big cities, such as Los Angeles, New York, etc. Although the Houston Rockets are also considering it, compared with those teams in Los Angeles and New York, the Rockets are obviously much smaller in line.
The Rockets are interested in superstars, but are those superstars interested in the Rockets? I don't know this. If other teams, the Lions, want the Rockets to send a large amount of chips to get superstars, then the Rockets management may think twice before doing it and even stop trading. After all, the Rockets are now the second strongest team in the Western Conference's regular season. Even if they remain the same, they will still have strong strength next season. Furthermore, the Rockets management has always been relatively conservative.
Although there is a possibility of a big deal, we can see from the recent news that the Rockets are more likely to retain their original lineup and continue to compete in next season. So, that so-called potential big deal may be ruined, and the Rockets even have no intention of having big deals. After all, breaking up the second-team team in the West and reorganizing it is a huge risky decision for the managers of each team.
Rockets coach Uduka said when talking about the team's new players that he believes that these young players of the Rockets will get more playing time next season. He said that the Rockets introduced veterans two years ago, and the Rockets also stockpiled so many young and excellent players, so it would be difficult for young players to get playing time if they don’t fight for it. In recent years, players such as Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green have been trained under various circumstances. Now they are in different stages, and the development of young people will come. He now also believes in the Rockets' young players, including those who do not have much chance this year.
So in other words, Uduka believes that young players will take the lead next season, so this disappoints many people who are looking forward to the Rockets' big deal. The Rockets are likely to continue to retain such a lineup next season, with young players as the core, and with veterans like Van Vreett and Dillon Brooks to see how far they can go in the playoffs. After all, the Rockets' "newcomer plus veteran" teaming mode is difficult to adjust for the time being. After all, such teaming mode has achieved great success this season, but it is limited to the regular season.
Give the Rockets a year to see how they will perform in the playoffs. This is probably the main team building model for the Rockets next season. Some fans who want to make the Rockets chase Antetokounmpo and Durant are probably a little disappointed.
