American News: Rockets tend to build a lineup in offseason and wings, ignoring the depth of the defender

September 27th News American reporter Dan Devine talked about the offseason issues of the Rockets in the podcast "Yahoo! Sports".

"Last season in Houston, when Van Vreet was on the court, the Rockets' turnover rate dropped by 2.5%, a figure fifth among all players who played at least 1,000 minutes. Although the Rockets' shooting performance was not excellent on the surface, they were able to rank among the top ten offensives in the league. This is largely due to their strong performance on offensive rebounds and Van Vreet's solidity in ball possession. He was particularly good in pick-and-roll, with almost no mistakes. However, the Rockets tended to build the lineup more in the offseason and wings, ignoring the depth of the back line. Now, the team needs to find new solutions in the backcourt, because the position that didn't originally need to worry is now a big problem," Dan Devine said.

The Rockets' offseason operation is as follows: New: forward Kevin Durant (traded from the Suns), forward Dorian Finney Smith ($52.7 million in four years), center Clint Capela (gets a three-year $21.5 million contract through signing with the Hawks), defender Mojave King (traded from the Pelicans), defender/forward Josh Okogie ($3.1 million in a year), defender Isaiah Crawford (two-way contract), defender JD -Davidson (two-way contract), defender Kevin Harris (two-way contract), forward Cameron Matthews (Exhibit 10 contract), second round pick in 2026 (traded from the Wizards), second round pick in 2029 (traded from the Wizards)
