Former Rockets center Daniel Theth, who gave up the $3.1 million trading margin on his contract, wanted to return to Boston. It can be seen that Tess wants to play more than money with a team that knows how to use him. Now that the Rockets have made Theiss wish, it is also a good result. What is the current situation of the Rockets' 2 new signings of Schroeder + Fernando?
Let's take a look at Fernando, who is still on a rookie contract who has passed the Rockets' medical examination and who has also trained with the Rockets players today. But the Rockets have not had a regular season game for the last 2 or two, and after the game with the Raptors, the Rockets got a few days of rest, which gave Fernando the opportunity to adapt to the team, if there is no accident, the Rockets on the morning of the 15th to play against the Jazz, Fernando is eligible to play for the Rockets.
Compared to Fernando, 28-year-old point guard Dennis Schroeder is clearly one step behind. According to the news, Schroeder has not participated in the Rockets' training session today, and his current situation is that he is still undergoing a physical examination. We know that usually after the NBA completes the player trade, each team must first conduct a physical examination of the new players they have acquired, and only after the physical examination is passed, the transaction is officially completed.
6 years ago, the Rockets traded the big forward Motelyunas to the Pistons, but the Pistons canceled the deal because Motel's medical examination failed, and Motel, who was full of joy and planned to go to Motor City to show his skills, was "returned" to the Rockets, and since then, Motel's road in the NBA has become narrower and narrower, and finally faded out of the NBA and went to the leagues of various countries to find opportunities to play.
However, for the rockets' new signing Schroeder, passing the physical examination is basically no problem. It's just that compared to Fernando, who has already passed the physical examination and started training, Schroeder is obviously one step slower. But according to Rockets coach Steven Silas, Schroeder is undergoing a medical examination, and Silas also expects that in tomorrow's Houston Rockets training, Schroeder may officially participate.
Above, this is the progress of the two new signings of the Rockets, Fernando and Schroeder. It can be said that the Rockets do not have a game mission in these few days, which actually helps the trade, and can give new players a lot of time to integrate into this Rockets team. In the next Rockets away game against the Jazz, Schroeder and Fernando are expected to play normally.
Although Fernando does not have many opportunities to get a lot of playing time for tactical reasons and strength reasons, Schroeder expects to get more opportunities, after all, he is not only an NBA star, but also has a good offensive and defensive performance. Silas has already said that Schroeder will play an important role in the Rockets' bench, and I believe that the game with the Jazz is the best opportunity for Schroeder to make his debut for the Rockets and show his fists.
