The Rockets have no choice! Westbrook, it s time to reunite with Durant!

There are 8 days left before the NBA new season training camp, starting point guard Van Vleet suffered a torn Across cruciate ligament. This is not only a catastrophe for the Rockets, but also a bolt from the sun.

Many netizens joked: "The Rockets have not taken off yet, and the engine has broken first."

How important is VanVleet? The Rockets were able to win second in the Western Conference last season due to his experience in championships.

Judging from the data, VanVleet is not the best in the team. Last season, he averaged 14.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game in the regular season, and 18.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1 steal per game in the playoffs.

But judging from his role in coaching young people and team commanders, Van Vleet made great contributions, Shin Kyung became more mature and the team's offensive organization became smoother.

Now, VanVleet is expected to be reimbursed for the season. Although the Rockets have received 14.1 million injuries, they cannot use it because the team's total salary is only 1.5 million away from the first tycoon line.

If the Rockets want to add point guards, they only have two options: one is to lay off employees, free up salary space, and sign people in the free market, and the other is to trade. However, the Rockets finally gathered a lineup and they are reluctant to give it to any.

Therefore, their target can only be in the free market, and there are two point guards to choose from, one is Ben Simmons, 29, and the other is Westbrook, 36. Comparing the two, the Rockets general manager doesn't have to think about it, he has to choose Westbrook. After all, he played for the Nuggets last season and still averaged 13.1 points and 6.1 assists in the regular season, and 11.7 points and 2.6 assists in the playoffs!

If Westbrook can go to the Rockets, then he and Durant will be the reunion after the Thunder. Only the NBA can write this script~
