Why didn't the Rockets want Olajuwon to stay?

Yao Ming is undoubtedly the best basketball player in China. His success also made China fans like the Rockets. Of course, Houston fans also like Yao Ming very much. However, there is no doubt that Olajuwon is the greatest player in the history of the Rockets. Even Harden, who is very strong now, didn't bring the championship to the team, and he can't compare with Olajuwon. However, Olajuwon chose to leave the Rockets at the end of his career and failed to achieve "one person, one city". What's going on here? When did the rocket send Olajuwon away? The team is ready to rebuild, in order to improve the historical status of Big Dream! 200 1, the rocket is ready to rebuild and destroy, but it needs some promising young players, so please invite Frodo and Mobry. At that time, the contract offered to Olajuwon, 38, was $65,438+0.3 million for three years, which was already a very good pension contract. But Olajuwon refused, and then he was traded to the Raptors, who offered him a 3-year180,000 USD contract. On the surface, will Olajuwon really leave the team he has dedicated for more than ten years for $5 million?

In fact, it is very likely that the Rockets were getting farther and farther away from the championship, and Olajuwon was holding two rings. The Rockets want Olajuwon to win another championship, so that he can win three championships and have a higher historical position, so the Rockets want to be as beautiful as an adult. At that time, the Raptors had an obvious upward trend, so they traded to the Raptors. Unfortunately, Olajuwon only played in the Raptors for one season and didn't win the championship. Later, he returned to the Rockets. But ... when did the rocket send Olajuwon away? The team is ready to rebuild, in order to improve the historical status of Big Dream! After the opening of the free agent market, teams in the league began to rob people madly, and contracts with a total price of over 100 million were everywhere. Although every team has made great progress, the Houston Rockets, which were active in the free agent market before, declined without strong support. On the contrary, their core lineup quietly encountered an earthquake.

After Dwight Howard jumped out of the contract and became a complete free agent, another Rockets insider, terrence jones, became an unrestricted free agent. The situation of Jones is different from that of Howard. Howard voluntarily chose to jump out of the contract, and Jones became an unrestricted free agent because the Rockets refused to make an offer. Meanwhile, the Rockets signed a $3.4 million contract for another team's main striker, Motel Junas. In other words, the Rockets chose Jones and Motejunas. In fact, the question of whether they will stay has been discussed since last season. As early as the summer of 20 15, Mott Junas and Jones both had the opportunity to renew their contracts with the Rockets in advance.

Why are the superstars trained by rockets abandoned? He was not the one the Rockets wanted to send away, but the Rockets didn't give a satisfactory offer at that time. At that time, both Jones and Motejunas hoped to get a contract with an annual salary of120,000 USD. The contract period is more than four years, but they failed to reach an agreement with the rocket. In the middle of this season, the Rockets gave the answer that they hoped Jones had better physical talent, instead of sending Motejunas to Detroit Pistons through a trade. But things didn't go as smoothly as the rockets thought. After the medical examination, the motel Junas was "returned" because it failed the medical examination. In this way, Junus Motel had to return to Houston in a mess. Instead of blaming the rockets, he praised them. At the same time, Motejunas also expressed his views on the unqualified physical examination: "They (Pistons) just repent, and my body is completely fine."
