Rockets plan for offseason! Support Green and unwilling to give up early, 2 swaps in 6 first rounds can pursue stars

Basketball

On May 7, the NBA playoffs are in full swing. The Rockets' journey this season has ended. In the first round of tiebreak, they lost to the Warriors and were eliminated. For the young Rockets, they still lack a lot of experience in their first playoff journey, and they can better strengthen them after they are eliminated.

The Rockets performed very well this season, with a record of 52 wins and 30 losses, ranking second in the West. Unfortunately, they met the experienced Warriors in the first round and were finally eliminated in the tiebreak. For the Rockets, they also saw hope. After all, many players in the team are in the first playoffs, including young players such as Shin Kyung, Green, and Amen. They have experienced the intensity of the playoffs. Such an experience will make them more calm in the regular season.

And in this playoffs, Green's performance was very bad, only in the G2 game, the other 6 games were mediocre, and even scored in 4 games without double-digit points. Such performance has also been criticized, and the outside world even expects the Rockets to send him away this summer to strengthen it. But in the summary at the end of the season, General Manager Stone also talked about Jaylen Green, and chose to support him and was unwilling to trade early to send him away. When asked how the Rockets performed better without Jaylen Green, how he would consider this when making decisions, Stone said: This statement is incorrect and is a big flaw. Obviously, the Rockets do not intend to put the responsibility for the team's elimination on Green, nor do they want to give up immediately because of his poor performance in the playoffs. Obviously, the Rockets are still optimistic about Green. After all, this is just his first playoff journey and it is not enough to announce his career.

Stone then said: The ultimate goal of the team is to build a championship team. If we think that a certain deal or a series of transactions can make us more likely to achieve this goal, then we will complete these transactions regardless of the consistency of the lineup. For the Rockets, this summer is still very important. With 6 first-round picks and 2 first-round swaps in their hands to trade, you can attack stars, such as Durant or Antetokounmpo. Next, it depends on how they choose.
