On June 19, Beijing time, the latest trade news about the Rockets came, according to Actionnetwork reporter Matt Moore, sources revealed that Jalen Green is the team's most important problem to solve this summer, he may be traded away, everything depends on the decision of head coach Udoka, if Udoka trusts Jalen Green, then the team will keep him, otherwise, the Rockets will try to trade him out this summer in exchange for an experienced All-Star level veteran, What happens to Jalen Green this summer, Udoka's decision is crucial.

It is no longer news that the Rockets want to trade Jalen Green, and at the trade deadline this season, the Rockets tried to trade Jalen Green plus a few first-round picks in exchange for Bridges of the Nets, but the Nets rejected it outright. Although Jalen Green then led the team to an 11-game winning streak and almost led the team to the play-in tournament, it is clear that the crazy performance during this period has not allowed him to solidify his position, and the Rockets will still explore a trade for Jalen Green this summer.

This season is Jalen Green's third season with the Rockets, compared to the previous two years, Jalen Green's progress is still very slow, in the early part of the season, Jalen Green often because of his poor shooting performance, resulting in him not being able to get a chance to play in the final quarter, replaced by Ethan, Holiday or other players to take his place, the effect is still very good. In other words, Jalen Green's tactical position in the Rockets is not stable, not as good as the team's absolute cornerstone in the first two seasons, with more and more talented players on the team, coupled with Jalen Green's slow pace of progress, he is no longer for sale on the team, because he is a player who can be replaced.

This offseason, according to the league's regulations, Jalen Green can reach a five-year $225 million salary extension with the Rockets, and if he is selected to the best team next season, the contract will reach five years and $269 million.

According to the current news, the Rockets are not much interested in renewing Jalen Green's contract with the highest salary, because in addition to negotiating a contract renewal with Jalen Green, Shen Jing, who was selected in the same class, has also reached the stage of contract renewal.

In addition, the main thing is that Jalen Green did not show the potential to become the absolute leader of the team in the first three seasons, his play on the offensive end is very unstable, and there are obvious deficiencies in defense, although he has led the team to 11 consecutive wins, but this may be just a flash in the pan, Jalen Green can not maintain this high level of performance for a long time, after the winning streak, Jalen Green's continuous crotch pulling performance also proves this, and this is what the Rockets need to worry about, unless Jalen Green does not pursue the maximum salary, Perhaps the team may consider renewing his contract early.

Of course, the early contract extension is all an afterthought, and the most important thing now is whether Udoka wants to keep Jalen Green, Udoka's decision will affect the team's subsequent operations, and will also affect whether Jalen Green will continue to play with the Rockets next season.
