The Rockets second stronghold candidate is recommended. Can the Rockets dream come true again this time?

Recently, Grimes, who is about to become a full free agent, uploaded photos of himself training in the University of Houston jersey on his social media. It can be said that as a native of Houston, Grimes saw that his hometown team had signed Durant in the offseason, and inexplicably wanted to do his part for his hometown. I don’t know if the Rockets’ management has seen Grimes’ updates now. To be honest, the Rockets can completely win him with a middle-class contract.

As a rookie in the same class as Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung and others in 2021, Grimes was removed by the Knicks in the 25th pick in the first round that year. The Rockets originally wanted to win Grimes at the 24th pick, but because of Jaylen Green's intervention, they wanted the Rockets to sign their brother Christopher, and everyone knew what happened next. Fortunately, Grimes finally scored his own net worth in Philadelphia after moving to many teams. Now Grimes is wearing a University of Houston jersey for training, to put it bluntly, recommending himself to the Rockets. After the Rockets got Durant, Van Vreeter reduced their salary significantly. The Rockets still have middle-class contracts to use, and they can use middle-class contracts to sign Grimes under their command. After all, Grimes's two-athlete guard with excellent three-point shooting is exactly what the Rockets lack. It can be said that Grimes is the low-end version of "Monk"!

The Rockets' offseason can be defined as smooth sailing. Van Vreet, Adams, Tate and others stayed one after another, and Durant joined the Rockets in a high-profile manner. I wonder if I can continue to dream come true this time and win Grimes?
