The Houston Rockets were rocked by big changes this season. The club lost its CEO Darylą Morey, in the coach’s chair Mike’ą D’Antoni replaced by Stephen Silas and that may be just the beginning.
Athletic journalist Shams Charania announces that one of the team leaders wants to leave Houston Russell Westbrook.
The player expected to have the same role on this team as he did at the Oklahoma Thunder club, where he spent much more time with the ball, but Houston became Jameso hardeño weapon bearer. Dissatisfied with the situation, Westbrook should be replaced before the start of the season.
Rockets’ Russell Westbrook wants out of Houston, sources say @AthleticNBA @Stadium.

The 32-year-old 191 cm tall American scored 27.2 points (26 percent from 3-pointers), 7.9 rebounds and 7 assists last season in 36 minutes.
Westbrook’s contract runs through the summer of 2023 and he will earn more than $ 40 million a year, making it easy to trade. It’s true that the Los Angeles Clippers and the New York Knicks have already paid attention to the player.
Harden also caused anxiety in Houston, as he has not responded to calls from team management and the new coach for several weeks. However, this is tied to his desire to leave the lineup to the coaches, Sh Charania states that the defender remains in Houston.
On the other hand, the center forward could play the role of Houston PJTuckerio race. An athlete who has waited for a long-term contract is not happy that he received a $ 7.9 million contract from the Rockets for just one year and wants more. He can do it in the summer of 2021, when he becomes a free agent.
The Rockets’ desire not to be bound by a long-term contract is understandable: There will be plenty of famous names in the 2021 free agent market, so the club is trying to loosen the “salary hat” a bit.
PJTucker, 35 years old and 195cm tall, became the leading midfielder for the exclusive Rockets last season, scoring 6.9 points (36 percent from 3s), 6.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 34 minutes. .
Internal problems suggest that we will see completely different “missiles” next season, and J. Harden will remain the only constant at the club.
