The Rockets' lineup will be greatly upgraded next season, and Stone will venture to offer Yuanlang
Jaylen Green's outstanding play in recent stages has given the Rockets management enough confidence that they finally see hope for the team's future renaissance. Wood's role is to assist Jaylen Green, and if he still blindly pretends to be the boss of the team, it seems inevitable that he will be traded. According to the US media "FW", general manager Stone has found a home for Wood, the Rockets, Magic two teams are negotiating a 2-for-1 deal offer, the Rockets are willing to send Christian Wood + Nouaba to get the Magic Team's Markel Fultz when the next trading day starts. Thus forming a gemini combination of Jaylen Green + Fultz before the start of the regular season next season, to launch a shock to the playoffs.
Fultz, the 23-year-old draft pick in 2017, has no physical talent to lose to Jaylen Green, having suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee at the start of last season, and was reimbursed for the season, only to return from injury recently. He has only played 4 games, averaged 16 minutes per game, and has 9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists, and he needs more training and games to get back in shape. Stone dared to take the risk of quoting Fultz, and should have appreciated his extraordinary talent.
