On December 15, Beijing time, according to Andy Larsen, a reporter from the Salt Lake City Tribune, the Jazz sought to trade four players, including Clarkson, Sexton, Olynyk and Tucker Jr., with the goal of getting a tall guard with excellent defensive and organizational skills. While the Rockets' Amen Thompson is a good fit for the Jazz, Stone will hardly trade Amen Thompson. Even these four players can help the current Rockets to a certain extent.
At present, Clarkson's salary is 23.5 million this season, and his salary for the next two seasons is 14 million. Clarkson is averaging 16 per game6 points 34 rebounds and 49 assists and 29 three-point shooting5%。Sexton has three years and $54 million left on his contract, averaging 13 per game2 points 28 rebounds and 34 assists and 32 three-point shooting9%。Olynyk still has one year and 12.2 million contracts left, averaging 77 points 58 rebounds and 38 assists and 46 three-point shooting2%。Tucker Jr. has one year and 11.1 million contracts remaining, averaging 99 points 28 rebounds and 42 assists and 33 three-point shooting3%。
For the Rockets, they could use Landale + Bullock + 1 second-round pick to get Olynyk in a trade. For the Rockets, this trade can increase the shooting ability of the perimeter to a certain extent, as well as defensive experience. At the moment, Langdale and Bullock have basically fallen out of the rotation, with only three people in the No. 5 position: Shin Jing, Smith and Jeff Green. Therefore, the center position of the Rockets is relatively thin, and Olynyk previously played for the Rockets and played good statistics. For the Rockets, Olynyk is a nice addition.
