On December 14, Beijing time, the NBA regular season is in full swing, and while enjoying the exciting game, the NBA's off-court trading dynamics are also worth paying attention to. Up to now, the Rockets have achieved a good record and have gradually shown the shadow of a strong team, but Jalen Green, the cornerstone of the team, has gradually lost himself. This season, Jalen Green is averaging 18 points per game and 45 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting a measly 409% and a three-point shooting percentage as low as 323%。Obviously, the current Jalen Green is no longer suitable for training as the cornerstone of the Rockets' team, and the failure to play in the final quarter of the season is the best proof of this.
With the strength of the Rockets' current roster, they also need to make trades in the middle of the season to improve the team's strength in order to go far this season. According to the American media "Bleachers", due to Jalen Green's poor performance, Stone plans to send him away in exchange for a top star to help the Rockets;It is reported that Stone wants to get Bridges, the core of the Nets, and in order to get him, Stone offered a 5-for-2 trade package to Nets management.
The main contents of this 5-for-2 trading plan are:
The Rockets sent Jalen Green + Oladipo + Landale + 2 first-round picks to get Bridges from the Nets.
For the Rockets, this deal is very good, even if they send Jalen Green and two first-round picks, but Bridges is now the league's top 3-and-D, and his personal strength is extremely good at an All-Star level, with him, the Rockets can go far this season.
Bridges is averaging 23 points per game this season9 rebounds and 39 assists and 1 steal, shooting 486%, 38 three-point shooting3%, shooting 2 per gameTwo three-pointers, a very good performance.
Bridges is the league's top 3-and-D, both offensive and defensive, and can provide huge help to the Rockets and effectively improve the strength of the Rockets' roster. On the offensive end, Bridges averaged 20+ points per game and could be the core of the Rockets' offensive end, using his super scoring ability to help the Rockets open up the situation at critical moments.
In addition, he has a good outside shooting ability, which can improve the Rockets' three-point problem, after all, the Rockets are currently in the middle and lower reaches of the league. With him, the Rockets will have one more reliable scoring point on the outside, and the offensive end will also be greatly improved.
Bridges' biggest surprise is his top-notch perimeter defense. As the top 3D in the league, the addition of Bridges can greatly improve the quality of the Rockets' outside defense and make the Rockets' defensive intensity to the next level. His front line duo with Eason will make the Rockets' perimeter defense one of the best in the league.
In addition, Rockets coach Udoka likes both offensive and defensive forward players very much, and under his hands, Bridges can get better play and can provide greater offensive and defensive help to the Rockets.
So this deal is extremely good for the Rockets. So will this deal work out?Let's wait and see!
