The Rockets are going to compete for the championship now and in the future. The Suns will prepare for the No. 1 pick

The Rockets have begun to enter the championship mode and will let go of the championship next year. The Suns will also give the No. 1 pick in 2027 and 2029, which is definitely the first pick now and in the future.

This year's offseason, the Rockets are undoubtedly the biggest winner. They first used Jaylen Green, Dillon, No. 10 signs and 5 second round draws to Durant, and then directly signed Anthony Smith to Capela, and then sent Whitmore to the team he wanted to go to, leaving 5 of the seven rookies, completely opening the championship mode.

At present, the Rockets do have the chance to win the championship with paper strength. Among the odds offered by American bookmakers, Houston ranks second, only behind the defending champion Thunder. According to the configuration and height of the two teams, the Rockets are really not afraid of the Thunder.

Take a step back and say that even if the Rockets miss the championship next year, they will not delay continuing to hoard talents and will win the championship again in the future, because they still hold the first round picks of the Suns in 2027 and 2029 without protection.

If the Suns' record in the past two years is still very poor and a No. 1 pick is given, the Aerospace City can be proud of the league.
