Adams renews his contract! Rockets, Lakers, Knicks and Hawks are planning a four-way deal?

3 years $39 million! The Rockets officially announced the renewal of Adams. For Houston fans, the meaning of this news is more exciting than trading Durant. Aquaman is the Rockets' inside player, with top rebounds in the frontcourt and outstanding franchise protection ability. He averaged 22.1 minutes per game in the playoffs, contributed 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, and shot a 60% shooting percentage. The double-high inside combination of Shin Kyung and Adams, created by coach Uduka at the end of the regular season, has achieved miraculous results, and the pair are likely to continue to start together next season. Everyone knows the good popularity of Aquaman. Even Jabbarry Smith, who was snatched away from the start, congratulated him on his successful contract renewal at the first time. The Lakers are Adams' strong contender, but the latter values ​​the young squad created by the Rockets more.

In contrast, Durant, who is about to turn 37, will have to pay a huge price for the Rockets to get it. All the seven Rockets are talented and have bright development prospects. General Manager Raphael Stone felt distressed for everyone to send him off, not to mention that he had to take up a large contract with an annual salary of more than $50 million. According to The Athletic Rockets reporter Kelly Iko, Rockets general manager Stone was very interested in getting Booker and Durant last summer, and for this reason he also had a draft pick swap deal with Nets general manager Sean Max. But once and forth, as the Rockets ranked second in the Western Conference, the Suns were not even qualified to participate in the playoffs, and general manager Stone seemed to have changed his mind. He is more optimistic about Jaylen Green's future than taking risks with Booker, whose data is declining and Durant, whose health is worrying.

Recently, the US media FW suggested that the Lakers, who failed to get Adams, will target Mitchell Robinson to strengthen the center. His static talent is not inferior to Mark Williams, and his defensive ability is at the top level in the league, but it has not been reused in the Knicks. The media provided a four-party trading offer to the Lakers and the Knicks. The Rockets and the Hawks participated. If the negotiations go smoothly, Mann is expected to parachute to Houston. The specific trading plan is: 1. The Lakers gave Vincent + Kneckett + the 2029 Lakers first-round pick (protected with the top four picks) to get Mitchell Robinson + Whitmore; 2. The Rockets gave Whitmore + Langdale + the 59th pick second-round pick in 2025 to get Terence Mann; 3. The Knicks gave Mitchell Robinson to get Vincent + Kneckett + the 59th pick second-round pick in 2025; 4. The Hawks gave Terence Mann get Langdale + the 2029 Lakers first-round pick (protected with the top four picks).

Mitchell Robinson is only 27 years old this year. As a high-quality blue-collar insider, he has excellent "eating" ability at the basket and open defensive coverage. He moves quickly and adapts to the unlimited defense switching system. It is fully in line with the Lakers management's needs for the No. 5 position. Miro has only represented the Knicks in 17 regular season games due to injury this season. He is currently at the lowest point in trading value and is also the best time for the Lakers to win him. In addition, Whitmore, who has a strong athletic talent, can provide head coach JJ Redick with more tactical choices. Under the guidance of two All-Star mentors, James and Doncic, the White Demons are expected to show their full potential. The Rockets are still in the process of continuous evolution. Referring to the Thunder this season, two role players, Caruso and Haltenstein, were introduced to the finals. The Rockets can be used to copy them. Terence Mann is considered a perfect puzzle for a champion team.
