On July 1, after the NBA free market opened, the teams finally couldn't hold on and joined the battle to grab the people, making the game in the new season even more interesting. Especially the targeted reinforcement of the Rockets made fans exclaim that this Rockets are invincible in the West!
The Rockets first snatched the high-quality 3D player Finney Smith from the Lakers for $53 million in four years. This defensive strongman is a player that the Lakers rely heavily on on the outside, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 39.8% in the regular season last season. The Rockets now have two top outside defensive strongmen: Amen Thompson + Finney Smith.

Even NBA reporter Sam Quinn exclaimed, "The Rockets' reinforcement is great, this lineup has been further upgraded! And the Lakers' defensive risks on the wings are even greater!" Doncic's weak defensive ring was further magnified with Finney Smith's departure!

The second is to sign Capela back for $21.5 million! "Ka King" became famous in the Rockets. At that time, Capela was full with Harden's assist and later turned to the Hawks. Capela has not been happy with the Hawks in the past two years. Both playing time, scoring and rebounding have been declining year by year, and his tactical status has gradually been reduced.
31-year-old Capela still has good rebounding skills and can serve as a substitute for Shin Kyung on the Rockets and contribute his strength. Currently, the Rockets' center forward is integrated with offense and defense, and few people can shake it in the West.
Regarding Capela's reinforcement, the famous NBA reporter Kevin O'Connor also exclaimed that "the Rockets' reinforcement makes their lineup configuration very diverse."

The Rockets' current lineup can be said to be almost flawless! The key is how Uduka can configure this lineup to achieve the best state.
And the Thunder, which just won the championship, may have to be shelved first, because the Rockets are about to take off and the Rockets are officially entering the countdown to win the championship!
