Murray publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the team! The Rockets opportunity is here, and you can win 5 for 2!

Murray is dissatisfied with the team. Can the Rockets trade for 5 and 2 be successful?

Recently, Dezhangtai Murray publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Pelicans in a podcast program. He said that this year in the Pelicans was his worst experience in the NBA. Not only did he suffer from a personal fracture, but his family also suffered consecutive accidents. His mother suffered a stroke, his cousin was killed, and his uncle took drugs overdose. However, he could not get the support he needed from the Pelicans and said bluntly that he did not want to stay there anymore. This remark undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the NBA's trading market, and the Houston Rockets may have had an excellent opportunity.

For the Rockets, if they can get Murray, the team's strength will be significantly improved. On the offensive end, Murray has excellent scoring and organizational skills, and his career averages are considerable. He can enrich the Rockets' offensive tactics, have a good chemical reaction with young players such as Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung, and drive the team's overall offense. On the defensive end, Murray is active and oppressive, which can improve the Rockets' defensive strength in the backcourt.

If the Rockets want to get Murray, they might as well consider a 5-for-2 trading plan. The Rockets sent Van Vreett, Jocklandare, Alon Holiday, the 2025 second-round pick and a future first-round swap in exchange for Murray and Pelicans forward Herbert Jones. Van Vreett's contract and experience matches salary, Dillon Brooks' defense and instant combat power have some value, Landale can be the top spot in the trade, and the two draft picks are the key to attracting the Pelicans. Herbert Jones is 2.01 meters tall and has an wingspan of 2.14 meters. He is an excellent 3D forward. He is the Pelicans' absolute external gate on the defensive end. He has outstanding single defense, assisted defense, and defensive awareness. His three-point shooting percentage is also 36.7%, which can supplement the Rockets' forward firepower and defensive intensity. For the Pelicans, getting these chips helps rebuild and develop new players.

If this deal is reached, the Rockets' backcourt strength will be greatly improved. In the fiercely competitive West in the new season, it may even make a better result, and even launch a higher ranking in the playoffs. But at present, all this is just a conceivable idea. Let us wait and see if the transaction can be truly achieved.
