Previously, US media gave advice for the Rockets, and they simulated a trading idea about Durant. The Rockets sent Dillon, Smith, Holiday and Landale, as well as the No. 10 pick this year and the first round of Durant in 27 years. But this trading idea is obviously just a simulation, because the Rockets cannot ask for Durant. In terms of age, Durant has 88 years of career, but actually has few years of career. The Rockets are a team that seeks stability, and they will not bet rashly in the past two years.

Ultimately, the lower limit of strength determines everything. Even if the young team remains unchanged, they can still achieve good results in the new season. The playoffs can be guaranteed without the Durant Rockets. Is it still unknown whether the Rockets who win Durant can win the championship? After all, the Suns have not entered the playoffs this year, so I know if Durant can join. Therefore, the Rockets' idea is still toward young players of Soha, so that they can be more compatible with the young players of the team and can launch championship campaigns for a long time.

According to US media "The Athletic", Sam Amick, the Rockets did not consider Durant at all. Amick believes that Durant's age is not the same timeline as the Rockets. The players they want are still Booker and the letters. First of all, Booker, who has been the Rockets' first choice point guard since last season. If anyone can make the Rockets willing to return all the Suns draft picks, then Booker must have, except him, there is nothing the Rockets want.

Jaylen Green's poor performance in this year's playoffs and his standing still in the regular season in the past four years has almost exhausted the Rockets' patience. Uduka said that Jaylen Green would play without the ball next season, but to put it bluntly, he just didn't want to give resources. Even Green himself liked the fans' comments that they wanted to leave the Rockets, and both sides might be tired of each other. Booker is a point guard who is much better than Green. His job is very pure, just to do the key tasks of the branch guard. If Booker joins the Rockets, he will not need to run-in to form a good chemical reaction. In the past four years, Booker has been able to average 27 points per game in the regular season, with a shooting percentage of 48% + 38%. Although Booker played 4 times in the playoffs, he averaged 28 points per game. He averaged the highest in one year, with 33.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game in 11 games in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 59%, and 51% of three-pointers. To put it bluntly, if Jaylen Green and Booker swap teams this year, the Rockets will definitely be the team that entered the Western Conference Finals, and you can even think about it in the finals. The gap between the Rockets and the Thunder is really Alexander and Jaylen Green. However, the Suns' record of not entering the playoffs has also caused Booker's value to drop a lot. Sam Amick is frank, the Rockets' idea of ​​Booker has changed from first choice to now. The Rockets doubt their ability to lead the team, but the better thing about the Rockets compared to the Suns is that they don't need Booker to lead the playoffs. Their original team can now ensure that the team's lower limit enters the playoffs. The letters of

are already the first choice of the Rockets. In the latest rankings, the Rockets are third. The first is the Bucks, the second is the Spurs, the third is the Rockets, and the fourth is the Raptors. There were rumors before that letters and Raptors were interested in each other. The Rockets and Spurs can give more rewards when chips are on the Rockets and Spurs. The Bucks want to get Jaylen Green, which may be the blessing of the Rockets' misfortune. As we said, this year's offseason is when Stone plays big chess. When will he not play at this time? When the Rockets' potential stars and many draft picks are about to be cashed out, some NBA senior executives also predict that the trading market this year's offseason may be the most explosive in history.
