Holding the No. 13 and No. 22 draws, want the top ten draws, the Hawks may discuss the deal with the Rockets

NBA draft expert James Barlowe revealed that the Hawks hold the No. 13 and No. 22 hand to trade upward to get the top ten. The Rockets have the No. 10 pick in 2025 and are willing to listen to the offer. Houston reporter Kelly Aiko has previously revealed that the Rockets' 10th pick has attracted the interest of many teams.

The Hawks have made many transactions with the Rockets before. Judging from the current situation, the Hawks may discuss trades with the Rockets.

Eagles want to trade upward, who do they like? Previously, American media revealed that the Hawks are very interested in Carman Maruac recently.

Maruacci was born in 2006 and is a center forward from Duke University. He is 2.16 meters tall and 2.31 meters tall and his body is quite outstanding. This season, Maruac played 39 times for Duke, averaging 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 shots per 21 minutes per game, shooting percentage of 71.2% and free throw percentage of 76.6%.

Maruacchi is a center who can protect the frame. He is tall and flexible, and is good at eating cakes. Maruacci has no independent offensive ability, his shooting is average, and his skills are still very rough.

Clint Capela was once the main center of the Hawks, and now at the age of 31, he is no longer in the team's plan. Previously, American media revealed that Capela will leave the Hawks as a free agent, and some teams that need substitute centers are interested in him, such as the Lakers.

Maruacchi's physical talent is better than Capela, and he still has a lot of room for improvement and has the opportunity to develop a three-pointer. It wouldn't be surprising that the Eagles are interested in Maruac.

Some Rockets fans are also optimistic about Maruac, but he is a rough and needs sufficient playing time to level up. The Rockets' current starting center is Alperen Sengon, and the substitute center is Adams, and Uduka trusts these two people very much. Adams also has an expiration of his contract, just like Capela, and the Rockets want to renew his contract. A Hou City media revealed that if Adams cannot be retained, the Rockets will consider finding substitute centers in the free agent market, such as Brooke Lopez. Capela may also be a potential candidate.

The Hawks want to trade upward, and the Rockets are also considering trading downward. The Houston Chronicle reporter Lerner recently revealed when interacting with fans that the Rockets currently prefer to trade the No. 10 draw in their hands, which may trade downwards or withdraw from this year's draft.

If the Rockets do not want to participate in this year's draft, they can choose to use the No. 10 pick to exchange players, or exchange for future draft picks.

Former Houston Chronicle Fagan pointed out the problem that there are too many young people in the Rockets who cannot cultivate them. Lerner also pointed out that Whitmore and Shepard lacked playing time this season, both of whom are potential young players. The Rockets still hope to train Whitmore and Shepard.

Previously, the US media FW proposed a transaction plan. The Rockets sent Dillon, Smith Jr., Shepard and the 2029 first-round draft pick, and obtained Trae Young from the Hawks.

FW believes that Trae Young's scoring and organization are exactly what the Rockets need urgently, and Uduka's defensive system can make up for his shortcomings.

Some Rockets fans hope to trade Jaylen Greene chips for Trae Young, giving up Van Jordan. Trae Young averaged 24.2 points and 11.6 assists per 36 minutes per game this season, shooting 41.1% from the field, 34% from three-point shooting percentage and 87.5% from free throw percentage.

Trey Young's defense is a problem, but from the moment, the Rockets' offense is very problematic. Seeing the Pacers' performance in the playoffs, some Rockets fans believe that Houston needs a ball-holding core to drive the team's offense.
