KD wants to come, the Rockets don t want it! I think Booker is no better than Jaylen Green, and will chase 33+15 super giant

Basketball

On May 13, today is the draw ceremony in the NBA lottery zone. It can be said that today's draft pick directly determines the direction of a team's operation this summer. If they can win the top three picks, it is estimated that this team will not choose to introduce stars. They will try to rebuild around these talents. After all, the top three picks in the draft year have hopes to become super stars in the future. The Hornets, Jazz and Wizards are the ones who have the most chance to win Flag, and their probability of winning the No. 1 pick is 14%.

The Rockets still have a 3.8% chance of winning the No. 1 pick. Even if they don't get the No. 1 pick, they still have a 17.3% chance of winning the first round pick in the top four picks. I think the Rockets will not choose to trade except for being able to win Flag or Harper. If you get other players, the Rockets may choose to use as bargaining chips to exchange for the right star. The Rockets' operations in this offseason are worth paying attention to, after all, this youth team has achieved a rise this season and they have entered the top two in the Western Conference.

Previously, the news from the US media was that the Rockets were interested in Durant and Booker, but now the Rockets seem to have changed their minds. According to TA reporter Kelly, in the next few months, NBA stars such as Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, Durant of the Suns and Zion of the Pelicans may be put on the shelves. Although Durant is widely regarded as the most likely one among these stars, Durant is willing to play for the Rockets, but the Rockets' insiders said that the team has concerns about cooperating with Durant.

The reason they are worried is that Durant is already 36 years old, which is inconsistent with the timeline of the team's young core, and the Suns' conversations with the Rockets about Durant were also initiated by the Suns. This was embarrassing for Durant. He remembered joining this youth team, and the Rockets needed most was players of his type, but the Rockets were still unwilling to do so. It’s time to bow your head when he couldn’t reach this age. Harden wanted to return to the Rockets and encountered similar treatment.

In addition, the US media has previously reported that the Rockets are also interested in getting Booker. The outside world believes that the Rockets should send Jaylen Green for Booker. However, according to TA reporters, the Rockets are still very confident in the second place Jaylen Green and decided not to pursue Booker anymore. They have given up the idea of ​​getting Booker because Jaylen Green is younger and is 66 million cheaper than Booker. Coupled with Booker's struggle this season, the Rockets have the determination to give up him.

To be honest, I think the Rockets' purpose is already clear. The team wants to continue to build a team around young players. They will only take action unless they can get a super giant in the league. The subsequent reports of the US media also confirm our guess. According to the Rockets' reporter, as the Rockets general manager said at the season summary press conference, even if the Rockets do not pursue super giants, they have confidence in their current lineup, especially Amen Thompson, who is regarded as the cornerstone, Shin Kyung was also selected as the All-Star for the first time, and Jabbarry Smith, Ethan and Shepard were also highly expected.

But according to BR's salary experts, Jabarry Smith is indeed a great player, he can have a positive impact on the Rockets, but he is more like a role player than a star, which is not what the Rockets expect from him. Since he has not become a major scorer, the Rockets are unlikely to offer the big contract Jabarry Smith expects, and he may succeed in the Rockets' big deal.

The only star that the Rockets are interested in now is Antetokounmpo, and Antetokounmpo is also rumored to be interested in joining other teams. At the same time, the Letters are also interested in teams without state taxes. Teams such as the Spurs and the Rockets are both very talented and have a lot of first-round picks in hand. They are definitely capable of giving the Bucks a satisfactory offer. According to the Rockets, they also believe that trading Antetokounmpo is very attractive. Although the transaction cost is very high, he is only 30 years old and the Rockets' future is still long.

The US media also simulated the Rockets' trading plan to get Antetokounmpo. The team gave Feng Xue Ge and Shen Jing + 2 first-round letters, and BR suggested that the Rockets give Jaylen Green, Jabbarry Smith, Shepard, White Devils and three first-round picks to get letters. To be honest, these two trading proposals are extremely tempting. Although the style of the letters is not suitable for the Rockets today, he is much smaller than Durant after all. The letters are in the top three levels of the active league. The team that gets him can quickly complete the transformation.

Antesco averaged 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the playoffs this season, with a shooting percentage of 60%. The Bucks' window to win the championship has been locked. It is wise to leave. After all, he has also won the championship for the Bucks. Let's want to make efforts for the next championship in his career, and at the same time he wants to make more money, the Rockets and the Spurs are indeed the best choice. Speaking of this, what do you want to say about the Rockets today? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
