8 players bid farewell to the Rockets during the offseason! The 18-man lineup list was finally settled, and his debut 10+9 tower was abandoned, but was suppressed by Xia Lian

The preseason next season will basically be held in early October, which also means that there are two months left for the new season. In fact, before the new season's game, each team will organize training camps early to conduct team training and determine the player lineup in a timely manner to strive for a good start to the next season. For the Rockets, who have been active frequently this summer and have won Durant, they have a better chance to compete for the championship next season.

Since Harden and Westbrook left the team, it has been 5 years since the Rockets rebuild. In the past five years, the Rockets have been the last record in the league for three years, and in two years, the Rockets finally stood up. Last season, they became the second in the Western Conference. Although he performed poorly in the playoffs, the Rockets once again proved that they are still the traditional strong team in the regular season.

However, the Rockets obviously have higher goals and pursuits. The second in the Western Conference in the regular season cannot satisfy the Rockets management. Their goal is to win the championship as soon as possible, so they poached Durant. Durant, 37, has two or three years of peak period, and the Rockets don't want to waste it. So this summer, in addition to introducing Durant, the Rockets have also introduced many powerful players, such as Okogi and Finney Smith, two forward defense experts, as well as Clint Capela, the inside gate. In addition, the Rockets also signed three two-way contract players to strengthen the team's outside strength.

The Rockets currently have 18 players, 14 of whom hold formal contracts, 3 players hold two-way contracts, and Cam Matthews hold training camp contracts. And this summer, eight players bid farewell to the Rockets one after another: Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks were sent to the Suns, Whitmore joined the Wizards, Langdale, McVay and Nate Williams were cut, and David Rody was sent to the Hawks in the trade. In addition, the stunning center Nfali Dante, who made his debut last season, failed to get the two-way contract issued by the Rockets.

In fact, more than a month ago, the Rockets wanted to keep Dante, and the 23-year-old center followed the Rockets to participate in the summer league. Although he was the starting center playing for the Rockets in every game, Dante did not perform well in several summer league games. In the inside, he lacks offensive methods, his basket skills are very rough, and he does not have much shooting ability; on the defensive end, the rebounds and blocks that performed well last season were gone.

Dant has been suppressed in the basket protection and has rarely had successful defensive performances. This is still in the summer league, the level is not too high, Dante plays so badly, but can Dante really perform in the regular season? Obviously, the Rockets management is very skeptical of him.

In addition, Capela's arrival directly made Dante an optional player for the Rockets, and the Rockets will not lack centers next season. Dante performed poorly in the summer league. Although he scored 10 points and 9 rebounds in the Rockets' regular season debut last season, plus a beautiful data of 1 assist and 2 blocks, the Rockets did not need a player's flashback.

did not perform well in the summer league, and naturally there was no chance in the regular season. In the end, the Rockets withdrew their two-way contract offer against Dante, and Dante's name was not available in the three two-way contracts. In the end, Dante became the last Rockets player to leave last season. At this point, the Rockets' 18-man roster has finally been settled, but some adjustments are expected, and we are looking forward to it.
