The Rockets' front line has become rich this offseason, despite losing Dillon and the White Devils. But get Durant, electric fans and Okogie. Add to his own Amen Thompson and Ethan, Smith will also serve in the third position. The Rockets have become the front line legion. In addition to Van Jordan, Holiday and Shepard, they can form a team of all front line legion. Jeff Green and Tate can't even make time, which is the key to why the Rockets have to forcefully train Shepard.

Rockets no longer need a forward line, even if the outside line is accurate. This is also the factor in the Rockets cutting off the front line Jack McVeigh, although he has good ability to shoot from outside. But the Rockets really have difficulty signing him back. Today, "ESPN" reporter Olgun Uluc reported that McVeigh is seeking an opportunity to stay in the NBA, but he has given up his route to return to the Rockets, hoping that other teams can sign him, even if it is a basic salary.

McVie is 29 years old and is 2.03 meters tall. He also played a final victory last season. As a Rockets' two-way contract player, McVeigh didn't get much time. He played only 9 games for the Rockets, and averaged 1.6 points per game. But McVeigh performed well in the Vipers, averaging 16 points and 5 rebounds, and his three-point shooting percentage approached 40%. In this summer league, McVeigh averaged 14 points and 2.5 rebounds per game in limited time, with three-point shooting percentage as high as 45.5%.

Olgun Uluc revealed that some European teams have already made a offer to McVay, hoping that he will go back. But McVeigh was still hesitating. If it were the Harden era back then, McVeigh would have a foothold in the Rockets. After all, a three-pointer from the outside line hits 40% and a height of 2.03 meters is already the best forward line that the Rockets can arrange for Harden. At that time, the Rockets' forward line was very shabby. After Ariza left, it was James Ennis, who was sent away halfway.

Rockets signed House to save the game successfully, but they also used House to avoid over-tax. Even a House can produce destructive power, let alone McVay? He is just a little unlucky, it depends on whether there is any team giving him some hope. His shooting on the outside will definitely not disappoint. Compared to the past, the Rockets' forward line is really terrifying. First of all, Durant plays the scoreback in the new season. He takes on the role of Jaylen Green on the offensive end and returns to the No. 4 position on the defensive end.

Van Jordan Dog Skin Plaster, Durant has an integrated offense and defense, Smith has a high 3D attribute in the third position, Amen can rely on his physical fitness to assist Shen Jing in the fourth position, and has terrifying single defense ability. Shen Jing's defense is actually not bad, he just needs to keep his strength to attack. Now getting Durant is equivalent to a scoring point that is a stable average of 28 points per game. Shin Jing's pressure on the offensive end has been greatly reduced, so he can invest more energy on the defensive end. Facing the Warriors Shin Jing has proved that his defense is not bad.

This is probably the strongest year in the Rockets' forward line in history, reminding us of the 19-year championship Raptors. In the Spurs traded with the Raptors that season, Leonard exchanged for DeRozan. The Raptors saved the basic regular season, upgraded to Leonard with DeRozan, and finally passed the game and won the championship in the playoffs. Leonard was seriously injured, and Durant is also in this situation now. The Rockets retained the second-largest base in the West, almost parachute to Durant, and strengthened the front line for another wave. Although Durant is old and seriously injured, his strength is still on the front line, and he can even check in with his bag.
