DeMarcus Cousins calls for Rockets to secure a veteran point guard
Former NBA star DeMarcus Cousins has made his stance clear: the Houston Rockets need to make a pivotal move if they hope to solidify their playoff aspirations this season.
A thrilling season opener
The Rockets recently engaged in a gripping season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder, a game that is sure to leave a mark throughout the year. Despite a hard-fought battle that extended into double overtime, the Rockets fell short, suffering a narrow 125-124 defeat. This matchup served as a fitting introduction to a new chapter for the franchise, marked by the arrival of Kevin Durant.
Cousins’ urgent call to action
In light of the close loss, Cousins took to social media to express his views on the Rockets’ roster. He emphasized the necessity of adding a seasoned point guard to the lineup, stating, “Houston has to get a vet PG if they want to make this run official this season.” While he acknowledged that young guard Jalen Reed is on the right track and will improve with experience, Cousins firmly believes that the team requires a veteran presence to guide them through the challenges ahead.
His comments resonate with the urgency of the moment; the Rockets are in a competitive Western Conference, and securing a reliable playmaker could be crucial for their postseason ambitions. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on the Rockets’ front office to see if they heed Cousins’ advice and make the necessary adjustments to bolster their roster.
