Why are everyone discussing the Rockets and Thunder deals? Green vs. Jewish? It s basically impossible!

After losing to the Warriors in the tiebreak battle, the Rockets' plan for next season is put on the agenda. Many fans began to imagine Jaylen Green + Jaylen Williams in multiple rounds. The arguments of supporters are nothing more than "the Thunder's contract renewal pressure will explode after the salary is booming", "The Rockets have high-quality draft picks (the Suns)", etc. However, this transaction will basically not be realized.

Green for Jewish

First: The Thunder do not care about draft picks.

In the next three years, the Thunder have as many as 6-9 first-round picks! If the time extends to 2031, the number of Thunder draft picks will be a terrifying 15 first rounds + 20 second rounds! It is completely possible to form two more teams full of potential! There is no time to train rookies, and draft picks are really not that important to the Thunder!

Thunder lineup

Second: The Thunder will trade Jiewei, but not with the Rockets! The

The Rockets provide nothing more than: Green + multiple first rounds, or VanVleet + multiple first rounds. The Thunder cannot accept both solutions! Jaylen Green's disaster performance in the playoffs is too eye-catching! (Average only 13.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 37.2%, 29.5%, 66.7%), after four years, there has been no progress! Van Jordan performed well, but he definitely couldn't make up for the role of Jewish. In addition, his age and body shape did not match the Thunder, and the latter already has an SGA, so it's still impossible!

Amen

Finally: Even if the Thunder trades with the Rockets, they will still want Amen!

The Thunder lineup has always had one flaw: No. 3 position! Whether it is Dolte, Caruso or Jevi, they are more than 1.9 meters and have a slightly smaller body size! Thunder did not have a regular eight-class 3 position at all, and Jiewei just relied on his explosive body to push him over. If the Rockets agree to add Amen to the trading plan, the Thunder can make up for the shortcomings in the lineup! However, the Rockets obviously won't let Amen go.
