Stone targets Tillman? Stewart assists Twin Tanhua?

Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks were replaced by Durant and Finney Smith, will the overall lineup strength of the Rockets improve? The answer is not necessarily. Durant has higher offensive efficiency and more stable shooting than Jaylen Green, but he is already 37 years old, and it is an indisputable fact that his athletic ability has declined. This is more reflected in the defensive end, and teammates need to stand up and assist Adu in assisting in defense and making up for him. But Dillon's departure was a weakening of the Rockets' overall defensive strength. Some people may be able to inherit his tenacity and never give in, but no one can match his ability to mess up the mentality of the opponent's core players through provocation and invasion. Durant's adaptability is unquestionable. He can play with ease in any tactical system, but Finney Smith needs to find a suitable environment, and his degree of integration needs to be verified through the competition.

Recently, the US media "Fadeaway World" suggested that the Celtics pursue Stewart, the Pistons inside player, at the beginning of the new season. He is known for his strong body and hot temper. He once became famous for his bloody pursuit of James in the game. The media provided a three-party trading offer to the Celtics and the Pistons. The Rockets participated as a third party. General manager Stone’s goal is 26-year-old striker versatile Tillman. After joining the Celtics, his data showed signs of a sharp decline. Head coach Mazura’s use of him caused controversy. The specific trading plan is:

1. The Celtics gave Sam Hauser + Xavier Tillman to get Isaiah Stewart;

2. The Rockets gave Aaron Holiday + the 2026 Bulls second round pick to get Xavier Tillman;

3. The Pistons gave Isaiah Stewart to get Sam Hauser + Aaron Holiday + the 2026 Bulls second round pick.

Tilman is an effective supplement to the Rockets' lineup strength. He is a versatile forward versatile. Although his playing time is limited, he can play a role when playing. His playing style is similar to that of the Rockets' Tate. He does not compete on the court and focuses on defending. However, when the team needs him, he can occasionally show his talent on the offensive end. Celtics coach Mazula once placed him in the starting lineup and praised him for the X factor, but the good times did not last long. Tilman was quickly thrown into the cold palace, and the conflict between him and Mazula broke out, which cast a shadow on his prospects in the new season. But Tillman is about to enter his contract year and he doesn't want to "wait for death" on the bench. Although Tillman may not be able to get a stable playing time on the Rockets, the temptation of competing for the championship and Uduka's personal charm can still impress him.

This is a deal that the Celtics management hopes to reach, because the starting center Porzingis was sent away, veteran Horford also chose to leave, which made the Celtics' inside line vacuum. General Manager Stevens hopes to introduce an inside player, but due to salary pressure, his choice is not large. Stewart averaged 6.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks last season, with a shooting percentage of 55.9%. This is his worst stat in the last three seasons, as Pistons' new coach Bickstaff prefers young Jaylen Durham and Hexagon fighter Tobias Harris. Stewart's annual salary is only $15 million, but his role is more than that. The Celtics, who lack soldiers, can provide him with the opportunity to start.
