The Rockets are still dissatisfied with the status quo and spend a lot of money to operate this summer, but the current record has not met expectations, and even many young people in the team do not have many opportunities, whether it is to impact the playoffs or develop new talents, it is impossible for the current Rockets to choose, but the management is more inclined to improve the team's strength through trades, after all, the playoffs are only one step away.
The Rockets want to add a star of the year to lead the team to the playoffs, which is already known to passers-by, and the chips in the Rockets' hands are the two starting guards in the current lineup, VanVleet and Jalen Green, the former can match the salary, the latter has enough talent, of course, Jalen Green is still a little reluctant for the Rockets to be abandoned, after all, after so long training, Jalen Green is not yet a climate.
Jalen Green and VanVleet can be said to be the most efficient backcourt combination in the league at present, the offensive efficiency of both is maintained at about forty percent, and VanVleet is less than forty percent, of course, this is VanVleet's normal level, but Jalen Green has played for so long and this level is really a bit unreasonable, plus the defensive quality is relatively average, it is only a matter of time before Jalen Green is abandoned, it just depends on how long the Rockets can struggle.
The Rockets are currently talented, and they have realized that they can't do their best to cultivate, and the first core has basically been determined from this season, Shen Jing's performance has been irreplaceable for the Rockets, with an integrated offense and defense, excellent efficiency, and no bad key strategy ability, with an average of 5 per game2 assists, this is obviously the next Jokic, who is also a smart player, Shen Jing's future will inevitably not be too bad, and the All-Star is basically the lower limit.
Shen Jing is irreplaceable for the Rockets, and it can even be said that it is difficult to cultivate, and Jalen Green, a scoring guard who can only play iron, is relatively easy to cultivate, so the Rockets intend to strengthen it, and it is a reinforcement for the guard. It is reported that the Rockets are interested in trading Mitchell or LaVine, and the trading chips are VanVleet and Jalen Green, or other young players who have little playing time, and the Rockets have no problem with their approach, but the risks involved in it may be difficult for the Rockets to accept.
The Rockets want to get a big fish, and it is a big fish in the year, there are not many stars in the market who may be traded, and the Rockets can not make many choices, Mitchell and LaVine may be the answer that the Rockets will choose next, but there is a great risk in this answer, whether it is Mitchell or LaVine, it is difficult to bring the Rockets to the level of championship strength.
