At this time, the four-for-one 1 deal between the Lakers and the Rockets is good for the Rockets, because it can not only get rid of the vicious contract of inviting Shao Wei, but also supplement the inside line of the team, get two backcourt players, Green and Pope, who are better at shooting and defending, and finally get a veteran Rondo.
We all know that Shao Wei has 65.438+300 million yuan left in his current three-year contract, with an annual salary of nearly 40 million yuan, while Green's salary is 6.5438+05 million yuan, D player Popper's annual salary is 8 million yuan, inside player McKee's annual salary is 46.5438+100 yuan, and Rondo's annual salary is 266 million yuan.
Shao Wei's contract now looks like a junk contract, because his current performance is not worthy of this contract, and he is still a little overpaid and incompetent. Two three-dimensional players, Green and Pope, have made great contributions to the team. They can be pitchers or defenders. Mackey is a capable insider in the center position. Rondo has championship experience and is an excellent point guard. Moreover, it's great for the Rockets to get these four players as a supplement to their lineup.
These four players will be seamlessly connected with the Rockets. James harden, the core of the Rockets, needs the ball, but the backcourt players Rajon Rondo and Green don't. They can play without the ball and with the ball, especially Green and Popper. They are perimeter players and can catch and throw the ball, which solves a problem of ball rights for the Rockets. If Shao Wei were here, he would share the ball with james harden.
Finally, the contract right of these players is only one year, so if their contracts expire, the Rockets can completely cancel their contracts when next season comes, and then sign other players with immediate fighting power, which is very convenient for the adjustment of a salary space of the Rockets and is a natural good thing for the Rockets.
For Shao Wei, trading with the Lakers is not a good thing. Little Emperor James needs the ball in his hand. As the core of the team, he has more organizational tasks. He needs players who can help him defensively, but Shao Wei is not such a player. Although Shao Wei made a comprehensive statement, his defensive ability is much worse than Rondo's players, so he is not suitable for the Lakers. Once this transaction is concluded,
