Famous star gives Rockets advice: 4 for 1 to chase Morant! 1 main player, 2 substitutes + first round pick package, the chips are too luxurious

Sheppard, the 21-year-old point guard of the Rockets, does have certain strength. His three-point shooting this season is also very accurate, and his shooting percentage is much higher than last season. But in some low-end games, Shepard can indeed produce pretty good performance and statistics, but when playing against some strong teams, Shepard will be out of shape.

For example, in the game between the Rockets and the Mavericks the day before, facing the tall point guard Flagg, Sheppard couldn't match up with him. Not only could he not score, he couldn't defend, and he made many low-level mistakes.

Shepard is still very useful against weak teams, such as the Nets and Raptors. At least he can score beautiful statistics and shoot a lot of open three-pointers. But compared with those mature teams, Shepard is still a little immature. Although he is 21 years old, Shepard has already played in the NBA for two seasons. It is obviously inappropriate to use youth as an excuse.

Some people think that Sheppard's performance this season has been ups and downs, so it is said that Amen Thompson alone cannot sort out and connect the Rockets' offense. Moreover, Amen Thompson is more suitable as a forward and more suitable for playing without the ball. His passing and ball-holding abilities are quite average. If the Rockets can get a pure point guard through a trade, it won't be a pity even if they pay some chips.

Former NBA forward Matt Barnes suggested on a show that the Rockets should vigorously pursue Morant, who is having conflicts with his old club, the Grizzlies. Although the conflict between Morant and the coach has ended, it is also a hidden danger for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies' current record is not good. They are at the bottom of the Western Conference. It seems that the Grizzlies this season are far less good than last season. Morant has become the biggest trouble in the Grizzlies locker room. If he can be traded in exchange for some chips, the Grizzlies may also agree.

Matt Barnes believes that the Rockets should boldly pursue Morant. Although Morant's contract is relatively large, it does not mean that he cannot be traded. If the Rockets can provide the main point guard VanVleet, as well as two backup rookies Shepard and Ethan, plus a first-round pick from the Suns in 2027, then the Rockets have every chance to get All-Star point guard Morant.

After all, although Morant has a fiery temper and an eccentric personality, his personal abilities are nothing to say. As long as he can play with peace of mind under Udoka, I believe he will definitely be the last piece of the puzzle for the Rockets to win the championship.

Even if one starter VanVleet and two substitutes Ethan and Sheppard are given away, as well as the first-round pick, it would not be a pity if Morant can get normal performance. Although such a bargaining chip is quite luxurious and can even be exchanged for another All-Star point guard, everyone knows that the Rockets need a point guard and the opponent will ask for a sky-high price. The relationship between Morant and the Grizzlies is very delicate. If both parties get what they need, I believe this deal should be a pretty good deal.

It seems that the Rockets may be at a disadvantage. However, Morant is relatively young and full of potential. He has already proven himself in the NBA. As long as I can come to the Rockets and join forces with star players such as Shen Jing, Amen Thompson, and Durant, I believe the Rockets' strength will increase even more. Moreover, the Rockets have a superstar like Durant who can control Morant without fear of him causing trouble.
