On July 2, Beijing time, the NBA trading market was bustling, and there were many transactions that affected the league landscape yesterday alone! There have been several big trades that shook the league, first of all, George signed the 76ers to form a Big Three lineup, and the Eastern Conference pattern is no longer dominated by the Celtics! Secondly, the Thunder got Harden's lineup to further improve, and the championship is really coming. With Paul coming to the Spurs, he is expected to become the biggest dark horse next season! And just now, according to the name Woj, Brother Alphabet is very likely to apply for a trade, and the Rockets have been holding back recently, just to wait for Brother Alphabet to speak, and the Rockets are willing to pay Shen Jing or Green + Van Jordan + five first-round picks to trade Brother Alphabet! Was the Rockets' crazy hoarding of draft picks in preparation for this?
The biggest problem with the Bucks at present is that it is difficult for the team to win once Brother Alphabet is absent, and the management sending Holiday away has always made Brother Alphabet have prejudices in his heart, and Lillard's arrival has not produced the desired chemistry! Brother Alphabet has repeatedly stated that his goal is not just a championship, he wants to become a historical superstar like Kobe Bryant and Curry, and now he has only won a championship, which is far from enough! Last season, he played 73 games in the regular season, averaging 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, shooting 61/21/65%! The top five in the league is second only to Jokic in terms of dominance on the inside! He hasn't played since April 10 with a calf strain, when the Bucks beat the Celtics 104-91, and since then the Bucks have played three regular-season games, winning 2-1 (18 points in one and 25 points in one). Coming to the playoffs and being eliminated by the sixth-place Pacers 4-2, the offense and defense were completely destroyed by the young Pacers, and the four games defeated lost by nearly 15 points on average, which was a big surprise! Brother Alphabet also saw this situation and had the idea of leaving the team!
There is no doubt that the Rockets are one of the most ideal next homes for Brother Alphabet, after coming here, they have Jalen Green in their starting lineup, and the rookie shooter Shepard, this guy may be the real champion in this rookie, his performance is worth everyone's expectations, as well as the White Devils, Dillon, Smith, etc., and the bench is also full of talent, Thompson, Griffin, Ethan! The lineup is young and energetic! Players in every position have good quality, the taste of the Thunder in the 22-23 season! If it is a change of letters, Shen Jing will most likely become a trading chip, there are too many newcomers on the inside of the Rockets, and it is impossible to pile up so many players in one position!
There are few big-name players left in today's free market, the Rockets have been standing still, there have always been Rockets who will send away one of Shen Jing or Green, in exchange for the league's first-line supergiants, Durant and Brother Alphabet are the objects they have coveted for a long time, Durant has never expressed his intention to leave the Suns before, and Brother Alphabet's attitude has been rumored after the Bucks were eliminated, I just hope that this deal is enough to come true, then next season's Rockets will be completely heroic! This is also a situation that as a Rocket fan would very much like to see!
