Hello everyone, I'm Mei Stable Yuyu, and today I bring you the following:
Trade rumors and player performances of the Texas Brothers, whose recent performance in the NBA has been in the spotlight. The Rockets are in 10th place in the West with a 15-15 record, while the Warriors are 11th in the West with a 15-17 record. In their next game, the Rockets will take on the Pistons, while the Warriors will face the Magic, the dark horse in the East.
Meanwhile, the Nets are currently in ninth place in the East, also 15-17. According to tankathon, the Nets' current pick is No. 12, and they have an 8% chance of drawing the top four picks in the 2024 draft, which is 17% chance of winning the lottery.
NBA Analysis, on the other hand, pointed out that if the Rockets can return their first-round pick to the Nets, they could expect to get Mikal Bridges. The Rockets currently hold the Nets' 2024 first-round pick, 2025 first-round pick swap rights, 2026 first-round pick and 2027 first-round pick swap rights.
Recently, the Nets proposed a trade plan to trade Mikal Bridges in exchange for Jalen Green and the draft pick that the Nets sent to the Rockets. However, the Rockets are not interested, believing that such a trade would be a loss for them.
Bridges Poor Performance and Trade Rumors Mikal Bridges has been underperforming in recent games, averaging just 16 points per game in his last nine games, shooting just 38% from the field and 29% from three-point range, and the team has only gone 2-7 in that time.
Even in the game against the Bucks, Bridges only played 12 minutes and publicly stated after the game that he didn't like head coach Vaughn's tactical arrangement. Such performances have raised questions about his future, with some suggesting that Bridges may not be suited to a central role in the team.
In addition, Nets management had previously pinned their hopes on Bridges to be the cornerstone of the team, but now it seems that he is only a second-hand leader at best. For a team like the Nets, Bridges' underperformance could make him a bargaining chip.
Regarding the trade rumors between the Rockets and Bridges, some analysts pointed out that the Rockets may not consider trading Jalen Green, and they are also reluctant to send the Nets a first-round pick. Some fans even believe that the Rockets may have made a mistake by signing Van Jordan, as the addition of Van Jordan may have affected the growth of young players such as Green.
However, there are also reports that the young players of the Raptors have shown more growth after Van Jordan's departure. Some fans even pointed out that Van Jordan seemed to be focused on scoring on the court rather than passing the ball to Green. Before that, the young players of the Raptors also showed dissatisfaction with Van Jordan, and some players even closed his account on social ** after Van Jordan left.
This situation suggests that Van Jordan may not be popular with the players on the team. Harden's impact on the RocketsIn addition, the impact on Harden is also a controversial topic. Some players, such as Maxey, said that Harden has taught him a lot on the team and made him more confident. This has also led some fans to wonder what role Harden has played for the Rockets.
Due to Harden's departure, the overall performance of the Rockets has also been affected to a certain extent, and Harden's performance with the Nets has also attracted much attention. As a result, Harden's impact on the Rockets and Nets remains a hotly debated topic. To sum up, the Texas Brothers trade rumors and player performances are in the spotlight.
Bridges' recent performances have raised questions about his future, and trade rumors about him continue to grow. At the same time, changes within the team and the influence of external players have also become a hot topic. For the fans, they are looking forward to the development and future of the team, and the team's performance will be the focus of their attention.
