Today's famous mouth Su Qun talked about the Rockets' recent operations on social media. The following is all the content.

As soon as the free agent market opened, the long-planned plans of each team were revealed, and the mainstream was mainly stable, which further highlighted the special nature of the Rockets snatching away Lakers forward Finney Smith.

Finney Smith gave up the Lakers' contract of 15.38 million in the last year, and did not want to be a potential middle-class person. He accepted the Rockets' 4-year 53 million for a longer period of 4 years. Obviously, it is safer and more conducive to its own insurance. At the same time, the conditions for the Rockets' championship are better. On the other hand, the Lakers are reluctant to give up.

The Rockets' move has the effect of killing three birds with one stone: it fills the 3D vacancy left by Dillon's replacement (three points are particularly important), and raises the height against the Thunder, making the Lakers helpless.

The most direct impact is that the Thunder has an opponent who competes with them for the finals. The Rockets remained unchanged during the deadline for this year's major trade, and they were sure that Taishan was waiting for this summer.

The Rockets' series of actions are orderly and step by step. Obviously, the plan is well planned and took a long time. Once implemented, it will be as accurate as the Mossad (Intelligence Agency):

The first step on June 14 was officially announced to renew Adams for 39 million yuan in three years. This was the Rockets' earliest action, obviously targeting the Thunder's double center Harten and Chett.

The second step on June 22, on the day the championship was born, the Rockets traded Durant, and in addition to giving up the first round pick, they also sent Dillon and Jaylen Green away.

On the third step on June 25, Van Vreett agreed to sign a diluted longer contract for 50 million in 2 years.

The fourth step on June 29, renewing Jabbarri Smith for 122 million in five years, not only will he continue to retain this space-type big man around Shinkyung and Adams, but also leave a full seed for future renewal.

The fifth step on June 30 was to grab Finney Smith in 4 years and fill the vacancy left by Dillon's departure; on the same day, Capela was signed back for 21.5 million in 3 years and 3 years.

These steps have a sequence in time, but this is just the time of announcement. It is obvious that the Rockets have made a package of plans in advance. Mr. Shi is fully confident.

It can be said that four of these five steps are taken casually, and Mr. Shi (Stone) and the players have a very tacit understanding; there is only one step that requires some effort, that is, to grab Finney Smith, but judging from the Lakers' dilemma, that little bit of verbalism is just meaning.

The most troublesome thing for the Lakers at the moment is how to make the reason for returning Mark Williams more legitimate. They must get a center stronger than Ma Wei. However, the fact is that in order to stabilize, the teams pay special attention to the inside, and the big men stayed there one after another.

The glimmer of hope that the Lakers retain now is Ayton, who was bought out by the Trail Blazers. Ayton's last year contract was 35.55 million, and according to the buyout principle of 2n+1, the majority were given in three years, so there would be a guarantee of nearly 10 million yuan every year, so he could accept a contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan.

If there are Ayton, James, and Luca, Reeves can still be left behind and sign forward Larevia with 12 million yuan in two years. As a substitute for Finney Smith, the Lakers' lineup is still acceptable.

But looking at the Rockets, Thunder and Mavericks, it is very difficult for the Lakers to play to the top three of the regular season like this year.

Because the Thunder won the championship, the Rockets reorganized partly based on their own shortcomings and the Thunder's strong points. Just like after the Mavericks reached the finals last year, the Thunder introduced Harten and Caruso according to the Mavericks' strong points. At least for the moment, the Thunder and Rockets will be the two biggest favorites in the Western Conference Finals.

Compared with these two teams, the Mavericks' only concern is that Irving recovers from his injuries. They made the worst and long-term plans. On the one hand, they re-signed with Irving for three years, and on the other hand, they temporarily introduced Russell, waiting for Irving to return in January and February next year; in the inside, the Mavericks retained Gafford, indicating their strong determination to not retreat.

Open the last ranking list of last season and make the following estimates:

Thunder, Rockets: top two;

Timberwolves, Nuggets (for Porter for C-Johnson): firmly ranked six;

Warriors, Clippers: top six;

Mavericks: top six, come from behind;

Spurs: to make the playoffs;

Lakers, Grizzlies: try to avoid playoffs.
