Recently, there is a trade proposal that has attracted a lot of attention, and while it is uncertain how true the news is, if a deal is done, the Rockets could be rated as the worst trade in history.
The advice given by the media is: The Rockets sent Green + Thompson + Dillon + 2025 seconds first-round pick + 2027 first-round pick to get Leonard of the Clippers.
If this deal had been put five years ago, the Clippers would have gone crazy because Leonard was a superstar in the league at that time, but if this deal was made now, the Rockets would have gone crazy, and they traded two rookies who could be future stars, plus a forward defensive giant, and even two first-round picks, but only in exchange for a sick seedling.
Leonard was the No. 15 pick in 2011, after the Spurs won the championship, he had a conflict with the team, the Raptors traded him to the team, Leonard led the team to win the championship, and then chose to join the Clippers to play so far.
Leonard played for the Clippers for five seasons, one season was reimbursed, and even the four seasons he played were on and off, which seriously hurt the team and Clippers fans.
In the 2023-24 season, Leonard played 68 games in the regular season, the highest in the past seven seasons, and under the leadership of him and Harden and George, the team became the most powerful contender for the championship, but at the last critical moment, Leonard grabbed it again, although he played two games in the first round of the playoffs, he only averaged 12 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals per game, and his efficiency was not high.
However, in the 2023-24 season, the Clippers gave Leonard a three-year, $150 million contract, and in the offseason, George chose to leave the team to join the 76ers, and now Leonard's health has always been a time bomb, so the Clippers will not deny trading him away.
After a few seasons of swinging, the Rockets have seven talented rookies after drafting Shepard this year, and judging by their performance, their future is very bright. However, although all seven are very good, they are unlikely to be leaders and absolute cores, but Thompson is the most likely newcomer among these newcomers to become leaders with potential potential. Although Green's efficiency has been average for three seasons, his scoring ability is still worth looking forward to, and the Rockets will not send him away easily.
Objectively speaking, it is unlikely that the Rockets are interested in Leonard, but if the Rockets do want Leonard, it is impossible to trade with such a chip, even if the Rockets intend to get Mitchell through a trade in the offseason, they have publicly stated that it is impossible to give up any of the young players.
Therefore, the US media gave such a trade proposal, which is likely to be out of nowhere, or even by Clippers fans, and it is unlikely that it will be reached in the end.
