Many teams have performed beyond expectations this season, and the most surprising thing must be the Rockets. They achieved the second record in the West, where the powerful Western Conference was everywhere in the regular season. Although they were eliminated by the Warriors in the first round of the regular season, they forced the Warriors, who had two super giants, Butler and Curry, to a tiebreak, which was already very outstanding. Since Harden left the team, the Rockets have finally completed their rise, and it depends on how they operate.

Previously, US media revealed that the Rockets may tend to continue to retain their young core during the offseason and remain patient and rely on their own stars to achieve their rise like the Thunder. But now, this possibility is very low. First of all, the Rockets had previously reported that they were interested in Durant, Booker and Fox. They had the idea of ​​rising quickly. Moreover, everyone has seen the upper limit of Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung's duo. Green lacks a ball quotient, and no matter how high his talent is, it will be useless. Although Shin Kyung's ball quotient is high, his athletic ability is too poor, and this pair of pairs is destined to be difficult to lead the Rockets to rise.

However, it is estimated that it will take a few more years to continue to train Amen and Shepard, and the Rockets may not be able to wait. Therefore, they may be able to strengthen through trades in the offseason. There are many outstanding players in the free market this summer. Recently, the US media has also given many trading plans for the Rockets. After all, the Rockets have enough young talents and draft picks, so it is easier for them to complete some trades than most teams.

First of all, it is about Durant's transaction. The US media suggested that the Rockets send Jabarri Smith, Dillon, Landal and two first-round picks to get Durant. These two first-round picks are both Suns' draft picks, which is more tempting for the Suns. After all, their first-round picks in 25 years may become the No. 1 picks, which is conducive to the team's reconstruction. Although the players sent donated don't look very good, these are all top blue-collar workers.

Dillon has proved himself in the past few years. He is one of the best 3D players in active service, a core player who can defend his opponents, and dares to play in key battles. Langdale is a very good inside player, but because of the Rockets' inside players, he has not gotten too many opportunities. Jabarry Smith will be the key player who gets Durant in the Rockets' trading. Although Jia has not always had excellent data, everyone knows how great he is.

The main reason why his data is not outstanding is that he does not have so much ball rights. Uduka does not like to use the space-type No. 4 position. He prefers the double towers that squat. Jabarry Smith plays very hard, has a good frame protection, and can also make unlimited defense replacements. His space ability is also excellent. Zhu Meng once praised him for playing like a veteran in the playoffs. Smith is now an excellent 3D blue-collar worker. Giving him enough ball rights, he may be able to become an All-Star insider.

In this game, the US media also suggested that they get letters through trades, and the team sent Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung, and three first-round picks to exchange letters from the Bucks. If the Bucks want to rebuild, this is indeed a good choice. Shin Kyung is an All-Star insider, Jaylen Green also has the potential to become an All-Star in the future. And if Green is given enough chance to make mistakes, perhaps he still hopes to reach the height of being a senior and a senior, and he has never had the opportunity to train him with all his strength.

Antesco may leave the team in the offseason. After all, the Bucks' window for winning has been closed. Daluo is old and Lillard is seriously injured. If the letters want to win, it will be difficult for the Bucks to operate. Therefore, rebuilding the trade letters to exchange for rich chips is good for both sides. The Rockets only send two core studs. I think the Bucks will feel that the price is low, and maybe they will have two more first rounds. Even so, if they can get the letters, then the Rockets should go to the Studs.

Letter is the closest player in the active league to Jokic's strength. He is the top three in the league. If he can get him, it is acceptable for the Rockets to rebuild a lineup around him. After all, Antetokounmpo is too strong. The playoffs can average 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. The shooting percentage is 60.6%. The opponent cannot defend against the inside. One of the players with the strongest individual ability in active service is a bit like James when he was young.

What the Rockets can now be sure of is that Amen Thompson is their non-sale product. When necessary, it doesn't matter if they plus Shepard. In Uduka's eyes, as long as their goal god combination is still there, the Rockets' defensive system will not collapse. The Rockets have to do a lot during the offseason. They not only need to consider whether to introduce stars, but also need to examine the renewal of some players, such as Van Jordan and Adams. It is estimated that Van Jordan will not get a super maximum salary of 40 million. If he wants to stay in the team, the team will probably sign a contract with him again. Adams is also a player that Uduka likes.

As for who the Rockets will win in the offseason, I think Durant's possibility is greater. After all, he has confirmed to leave the team, and the Suns' many first-round picks are on the Rockets. The key is that Durant and Uduka are still in good relationship. Having said that, what do you think of these two transactions? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
