The Rockets have a lot of trade resources, and it should be said that they are one of the biggest buyers or sellers at the moment: a group of talented young people, this year's pick, and the Nets' first-round pick in the future are all high-quality resources. In addition, the draft is approaching, and many teams are ready to move, so the Rockets have also received a lot of trade offers recently, so let's take a look.
The first is a trade offer from the Spurs. The Spurs have the No. 4 and No. 8 picks in the first round this year, but unfortunately the Rockets happen to have the No. 4 and No. 8 picks in the first round. Although there was only one pick to go, the Spurs were very uncomfortable, and it was almost difficult for Lisachet to fall to the fourth pick, which they were hungry for. The Spurs are hungry for the forward, and they have previously sent a team of scouts to Europe to look at Risache, and the results are said to be satisfactory as well.
Risache is almost locked in the top three picks, and if the Spurs want to get Risache safely, trading with the Rockets to get a probe is the best option. Now, the Spurs are willing to use the No. 4 pick as the main body, plus add a trade to the Rockets. The initiative of the transaction is firmly in the hands of the Rockets, and the specific transaction plan is not clear for the time being. In the editor's opinion, the Spurs are highly polarized, Vassell and Wembanyama are almost impossible to trade, and the other players are not of much value, so there is no clear news about the transaction between the two sides.
Secondly, the Bucks are also interested in Ethan. According to Evan Sidery, the Bucks want to trade away the team's block king Da Lopez. And this year, the Bucks' defensive efficiency has declined sharply, largely because the backcourt combination of Lillard and Beasley has poor defense, and after trading Beverley, Holiday and others, the outside defensive resources are extremely scarce.
According to Windhorst, the Bucks could make an offer to the Rockets, presumably in exchange for Lopez and a future first-round pick for Eason. Ethan's tough defense and court style have won the favor of the Bucks, the forward has averaged 9.8 points, 7 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1 block per game this season, and could develop into an outside gate like Herbert Jones in the future!
However, if the Rockets are to be tempted, these chips of the Bucks should not be enough. High-quality 3D is very popular in today's league, and Eason is only 23 years old now, and there is a lot of upside in the future, and the Bucks may need to add other chips to impress the Rockets.
Finally, there is about the Rockets pushing for a three-way trade to get Ingram from the Pelicans for a lower price. Although it is difficult for Ingram to develop into a big leader, it is more than enough to be a strong team and three leaders. In the regular season this season, Ingram averaged 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, and his overall offensive means were relatively comprehensive. If the Rockets can get Ingram for a protected first-round pick and other additions, it would be a good option.
