Compared with the finals, many fans pay more attention to the NBA trading market.

For Rockets fans who were eliminated early on the home team, their focus was obviously on what big deal Stone would make to upgrade the lineup.

Several NBA teams are interested in the 2025 No. 10 pick among the Rockets, and the Suns also want to get their first round pick back. It can be foreseeable that Rockets general manager Stone should have received many calls from executives of other teams recently.

famous reporter Shams talked about the latest developments in the Durant transaction on the show. Fans want to know when Durant will be traded by the Suns? Shams said: It may happen in the next few days.

The famous reporter said that six or eight teams have contacted the Suns, but there are only three teams that have actually been at the Durant trading discussion center in the past one or two days. In addition to the Rockets, the Heat and the Timberwolves are also talking to the Suns for trade.

Compared to the Heat and the Timberwolves, the Suns are more willing to talk to the Rockets because they want to get back the multiple first-round picks they sent out.

Duane Rankin, a reporter from the Arizona Republic, said the Rockets will be Durant's ideal next home. Durant is close to Rockets head coach Uduka and assistant coach Roy Ivey. The Rockets hold the first-round picks for the Suns in 2025, 2027 and 2029. The Rockets can also provide young players with potential.

NBA reporter Ary said Uduka hopes to trade for Durant.

Durant played 62 times this season, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, scoring 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 caps, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.9%. Many American media believe that Durant can solve the problem that no one can stand up and score at the critical moment of the fourth quarter. The Rockets do need stars, and Durant can indeed solve Houston's offensive problem. However, the Rockets management is concerned about Durant's age, contract and injury concealment, and is not willing to give him too much bargaining chips. On the other hand, the Suns, who are not short of people at the shooting guard position, don't seem to have much interest in Jaylen Green, and they want more draft picks.

Durant's next odds were updated, and the Rockets dropped to fourth place, with the top three being the Timberwolves, Heat and Spurs.

US media FW suggested that the Rockets trade for 5 to 1 to get Brown.

Trading plan: The Rockets sent Jaylen Green, Smith Jr., Shepard, the 2025 No. 10 pick and the 2031 first round pick, and got Jaylen Brown from the Celtics. FW believes this is a win-win deal, with the Rockets and the Celtics taking their needs.

is facing huge salary pressure, Tatum is seriously injured, and the Celtics have to consider selling important players on the team. The famous reporter Shams revealed a few days ago that the Celtics were willing to listen to the offer for Brown.

Jaylen Brown played with injury in the playoffs, averaging 22.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting percentage of 44.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 75.8%. He underwent surgery and was expected to recover before training camp began next season.

Although Jaylen Brown is not as good as Durant, he is younger and is only 28 years old. Compared to Durant at the end of his career, many Rockets fans hope to trade Brown and send Jaylen Green away.

Brown is a player that Rockets head coach Uduka really likes. Jaylen Green is not very adapted to Uduka's system and performed poorly in the playoffs. Smith Jr. became a substitute and was not valued by Uduka, while Shepard could only sit on the bench.

It is worth pointing out that Brown's big contract may make Rockets management hesitate, his attendance rate is also average, and there are hidden dangers of injury.
