Jaylen Green: Apart from loving me, I have no emotions about the Rockets, I will make the Suns successful

Jalen Green, a backcourt star who was recently traded by the Houston Rockets to the Phoenix Suns, published a long article in which he also talked about the previous deal between the Rockets and the Suns. Green wrote: Obviously, no one likes to be traded, but I can sincerely say that I understand all of this. This is a business, and if I were sitting in the Rockets' management position, I might have made the same decision as them. I think for both sides, this deal is to provide a better situation for the team. What I'm most looking forward to now is to do something big with Devin Booker next season, and I hope I can bring the winning culture I learned in Houston to the Suns.

Green continued to write: At this time, everyone always says something to comfort themselves, right? For example, don’t cry because it’s over, and smile because it happened? Brother, I'm just smiling now. I have no other emotions for the Rockets, only love. Although I will try my best to defeat you on the court (hahaha), I am grateful every time I return to my old club and see you again. I really grew up here. Some people just say these scenes when they are traded, but I really came here since I was 19 years old. Before I came here, I was still at the age of eating rainbow candy. I have come to this day and now I am a father. Along the way, it was really a very special experience for me.

In the NBA regular season last season, Green maintained a full attendance in 82 games. During his 32.9 minutes of playing time, Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks, and had 2.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 42.3% from the field, 35.4% from three-point shooting percentage and 81.3% from free throws. In the playoffs, Green played 7 games in total, with averaging 31.3 minutes per game, averaging 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 37.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 29.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 66.7%.

Green's performance in the regular season last season was quite careless. Although he did not make much progress, he did not have much problem at least, and he was able to take on some responsibilities on the offensive end. However, in the playoffs, the situation changed completely. Green's performance can be said to be at the disaster level. His offensive efficiency is a mess, his scoring ability is terrible, and he lacks enough support on the defensive end. It is no exaggeration to say that if Green's performance is slightly normal, the Rockets may have advanced to the second round. I wonder what performance Green will perform after joining the Suns. Can he help the Suns rebound in the new season?
