Media person: The Rockets can hardly remedy it immediately after Van Vreet fell, Westbrook cannot sign even with 26 Bensi

According to ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania, several sources revealed that Rockets' main guard Fred VanVreet suffered a torn ACL and may be reimbursed for the season.

Kong Dexin, a reporter from Sports Weekly, posted a comment. The original text is as follows:

For the Rockets, Van Vreet's season reimbursement may be disastrous because they have the problem of poor attacking attacks. Originally, you were expecting that Van Jordan + upgraded Amen and Shen Jing + could digest some KD with the ball and help Shepard and Holiday who helped a little to solve this problem, but now, the most important link has fallen directly.

What is more disaster than Van Vreet's fall is that the Rockets have almost no way to remedy it. They can apply for $14.1 million in injury specials, but the problem is that it cannot be used for the time being.

Because of using the full middle class to sign Finney Smith, the team was hit by the top rich man. Currently, they only have $1.25 million in space under the hat, and the basic salary is not enough. Therefore, many people joked that Westbrook, Bency, and even Brogden, who is not sure to stay, cannot sign.

Then can't the Rockets lay off people and make room? The 15 standard contracts in their lineup are all guarantee contracts, and they cannot make room if they are laid off.

Then can't the Rockets trade to clear the space? Yes, but at present, only six people can trade: KD, Shin Kyung, Amen, Ethan, Shepard, and Smith Jr. (and the problem of difficult equilibrium contracts). Almost everyone else signed new contracts this summer and would not trade until December 14/15.

So simply put, all the Rockets can do is stand up. After December 15, if the team finds that the problem of not having an offensive starting point is really serious, then we can see if we can make some changes through the transaction.

It is not difficult to become a competitive team, but it is definitely not possible to compete for the championship without good luck...
