1. For Tanhualang Shepard, he finally ushered in another village of darkness. According to Rockets reporters, the team management appreciates Shepard's basketball skills and basketball IQ very much, so he will get more playing time and performance opportunities next season.

2. For Whitmore, the Rockets have received calls from many teams during the offseason. The Rockets are conducting an assessment of the specific situation, and Whitmore and their agent team have not yet officially applied for a transaction to the Rockets. The Rockets and Whitmore are continuing to observe the specific trends of the offseason.

3. Regarding Durant's transaction, the Suns are very proactive in promoting progress with the Rockets. The Rockets have always been worried that Durant's age and his arrival will destroy the current team's chemistry. It is reported that the Suns have lowered their trading weight and just want to exchange the Rockets for three first-round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029. The negotiations between the two sides are probably still a tug-of-war!
