During this time, the decision-making level of the Bucks team can be said to have made a thoughtful check of their lineup, everyone knows that Brother Alphabet is not only a superstar, but also the core of the team, but there is a good saying, a single filament does not become a line, a single tree does not become a forest, as the star of the house, he needs to have a reliable assistant by his side, especially at the critical moment of the playoffs, you may still remember that the tense atmosphere in the playoffs, the situation is changing rapidly, and no veteran stands up to grasp the situation, It's hard for anyone to win in that high-pressure environment
The Bucks' interest in Shepard is obvious, he is a veteran who has experienced countless ups and downs, ball control, organization, and even the ability to shoot key shots at critical moments, such a player, no matter which team he is on, is a sweet and sweet, and then think about it, the Bucks' loss in last year's playoffs undoubtedly made them realize one point: experience and depth are important factors in winning championships, and Shepard is the person they dream of

On the other hand, Shepard, although at the peak of his career, he was also the absolute core of the team, holding the ball offensively, shooting is a good hand, it is said that he performed in the limelight during the All-Star Weekend, although the state has declined in recent years, but the data of several games is still impressive, it can be said that his presence at critical moments, at least in the Rockets still seems to be very stable
So, let's take a look at the position of the Rockets, although Shepard's personal data is good, but the Rockets are currently in a rebuilding period, developing young players is their top priority, those little guys in the team, they all need an experienced veteran like Shepard to guide them, in the face of so many conscientious rookies, Shepard is undoubtedly a very suitable mentor, a person with strength like him, can definitely effectively stabilize the team's atmosphere at critical moments

In addition, besides, the Rockets are not simply a matter of letting go of a veteran, Shepard is an absolute big player on the team, trading him means losing a core player and bringing in a new lineup, not to mention whether the performance of the introduced newcomers can be guaranteed, just the time and effort spent is enough to teach people a headache, and their decision-making level has to consider what the young players will feel in their hearts and what the team's morale will look like if they send him away
In this trade game, it is obvious that both sides are thinking about something, both hoping to get the best benefit from it, and no one is ready to give in easily, in other words, all this is not only a battle of wits and courage in the trade, but also a reasonable plan for the two teams to complete the game, the Bucks want to use Shepard's experience to bring a greater competitive advantage, and the Rockets want to maintain the stability of the team by maintaining the existing roster

If the two sides can conduct a "trade exercise" at the right time, they may be able to find a win-win situation - both allow Shepard to provide continued help to the Bucks and retain his status as a veteran in the Rockets, after all, behind the trade, there are often unpredictable, and the possibility of friction and tilt is the charm of this league
Speaking of which, one has to be full of anticipation for the future trend, will Shepard be the focus of the next transfer? Will the veteran be able to rejuvenate himself in his new squad? Or will the Rockets be able to continue to rebuild through him and develop a truly young workforce? It's all worth waiting for, because outside of the league, every deal can even trigger an era change, so let's seize those moments and look forward to better performances
