After 22 years, the Rockets won the champion center again? The Eagles are interested in swapping the Rockets' No. 3 pick

Restart the center era of the Rockets

After 22 years, the Rockets are expected to get the top pick again, which is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for this team that has always lacked interior players. In 2002, the Rockets drafted Yao Ming with the top pick, and he has since built a brilliant career with the Rockets, and his name has been deeply imprinted in the history of the Rockets. Now, the Rockets have another chance to draft the top player, and this time they are most likely to pick the inside player who is also from France, Sarr.

As one of the top rookies in the 2024 draft, Sarr is undoubtedly in the spotlight. His excellent physical attributes, strong interior control, and impressive scoring ability have made him one of the most promising centers in the current rookie. This, combined with his excellent performance on the defensive end, makes Sarr an ideal choice for the Rockets. If the Rockets can really select Sarr in the end, it will undoubtedly mean a significant improvement in the Rockets' interior defense, and it will also bring a new offensive look to the team.

For the Rockets, getting the top pick in this trade is undoubtedly a big determination. After all, it obviously takes a certain amount of courage and boldness to give up the No. 3 pick and some future picks. But in the long run, it was undoubtedly a wise decision. The selection of the top pick is undoubtedly the highest reward for a team that is in the midst of a rebuild. In the years to come, the addition of Sarr will undoubtedly inject new impetus and vitality into the Rockets, bringing the once-glorious team back to its glory.

The success of this transaction also marks the beginning of a new era for the Rockets. After the loss of Yao Ming, the Rockets have been looking for a player who can take on the role of the interior, and Sarr is undoubtedly the most suitable person. His excellent physicality, excellent defensive ability, and good offensive skills have made him one of the most high-profile rookies of the moment. If he can be successfully selected, it will undoubtedly be a huge gain for the Rockets, and it will also bring infinite possibilities for the future development of the team.

At the same time, the addition of Sarr will also bring a new offensive look to the Rockets. Over the past few seasons, the absence of the Rockets' interior has been a major obstacle to the team's offensive efficiency. But with the addition of Sarr, the Rockets will have an excellent interior master who can not only create more scoring opportunities on the inside, but also effectively help the team control rebounds and defensive advantages. This will undoubtedly greatly improve the overall strength of the rockets, and also make people look forward to their future.

Of course, after bringing in Sarr, the Rockets also need to further improve the team's roster structure. Outside projection has always been a shortcoming for the Rockets, and while this trade won't solve this problem entirely, there are other ways for the Rockets to fill the gap. According to the report, the Rockets are interested in bringing in Bucks guard Beasley, which would undoubtedly be a good choice. Beasley's excellent three-point shooting ability can undoubtedly complement Sarr perfectly, making the Rockets' offense more diverse. At the same time, his excellent defensive ability can further strengthen the Rockets' defense, so that the strength of the entire team can be improved in an all-round way.

Overall, the Rockets are expected to pick and draft Sarr this time, which is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. While there is some price to pay, it is undoubtedly a wise decision in the long run. The addition of Sarr will not only bring a new energy to the Rockets' interior line, but also inject new impetus into the team's overall strength. Coupled with the reinforcement of the Rockets in other aspects, I believe that in the next few years, this once glorious team will be able to regain its former glory and become one of the strong players in the NBA again.

Continue to strengthen the strength of the internal line and expand the choice of the outside line

While getting the No. 1 pick and selecting Sarr is undoubtedly a huge gain, it's not enough for the Rockets to rely on interior reinforcement. In the future trading and free agent market, they also need to further strengthen the team's outside strength to provide better coordination and support for the advantages of the inside line.

First, the Rockets need to keep some of the perimeter players they already have. Last season, Holiday was one of the Rockets' perimeter cores, with his excellent three-point shooting percentage and all-round scoring ability providing important support for the team's offensive output. And according to the report, the Rockets are now considering re-signing Holiday to a new contract, which is undoubtedly a wise choice. With Holiday scoring and Sarney's dominance, the Rockets' offensive façade will be more well-rounded and diverse.

In addition, the Rockets should also keep an eye on some of their own young perimeter players, such as Jalen Green and Smith. Both youngsters had good performances last season, with Green in particular shooting from three-point range and on the defensive end. In the future, they will undoubtedly become one of the important pillars of the rocket. As long as they can further improve their consistency and offensive diversity, they are expected to bring more surprises to the Rockets in the new season.

At the same time, the Rockets should also actively invest in the free agent market and bring in some players who can improve the team's outside strength. According to the report, they are considering bringing in Bucks guard Beasley, which is undoubtedly a good option. As an excellent three-point shooter, Beasley's addition can effectively relieve the pressure of the Rockets' outside shooting and inject new vitality into the team's offense. And his excellent defensive ability can further improve the Rockets' defensive system, which will greatly improve the team's performance on both ends.

In addition to Beasley, the Rockets could also keep an eye on a number of other outside free agents, such as Michael Porter-Jeniel, Victor Oladipo, and others. These players have certain advantages in both three-point shooting and defensive performance, and if one or two of them can be brought in, I believe it will greatly enhance the outside strength of the Rockets.

Overall, while getting the No. 1 pick and selecting Sarr is undoubtedly a huge gain for the Rockets, it is not enough to rely on interior reinforcement to truly turn the team around. In the future, the Rockets will need to further strengthen the outside line, not only to retain some of the existing high-quality outside players, but also to actively invest in the free agent market and bring in some high-quality outside players who can improve the team's offensive and defensive capabilities. Only in this way can we truly build a new era of rockets with balanced strength and full combat effectiveness.
