The Houston Rockets suffered a 113-129 defeat to the Phoenix Suns, and this game gave a glimpse of the current predicament and problems of the Rockets, whether it is rebounding, scoring, or defense, the Rockets are clearly at a disadvantage, and the Rockets are difficult to compete with them in the absence of core players, and if the Rockets want to turn things around, then they must act as soon as possible. Trading is one of their most effective ways at the moment.
According to the American media "FW", the Rockets are targeting the Cavaliers All-Star guard Mitchell and the Mavericks rookie center Lively II, and for this reason, the Nets, Cavaliers and Mavericks and other four teams have negotiated a deal, let's take a look at the specific situation;
The Rockets sent Jalen Green, Tate, Landale, Jeff Green, Oladipo, Bullock, Boban, Holiday as one top-three first-round pick and six second-round picks as Donovan Mitchell, Lively II, Noah Clooney, and a first-round swap pick for the Nets.
For the Rockets, the price of this deal is very large, and it is overdrawn to a certain extent, but the chips are also very good, first of all, Mitchell is a heavy guard, with excellent explosiveness, extremely fast first step, excellent bounce and tough confrontation ability, and he has outstanding arms, averaging 27 per game this season7 points 56 rebounds 55 assists, is a non-good on-the-spot player, Lively can provide interior basket protection, the team completes the inside and outside roster upgrades, as for Noah Clooney is a young rookie with some potential, this deal also gets a first-round pick, the team can further complete the roster reinforcement, if this deal can be completed, it will help the team a lot.
The Nets sent Clooney and a first-round pick to the Suns, a first-round swap, and four second-round picks for Hardaway Jr., Oladipo and the Rockets.
For the Nets, the deal wasn't bad, first of all, Hardaway Jr. was a soft-touch athletic guard who could catch the ball and shoot threesPossession is average, only attacking the rim on fast breaks;There are few passes or turnovers, and he averages 17 per game6 points 37 rebounds 16 assists, as for Oladipo can enhance the team's bench depth, this deal also gets 4 draft picks, the team can further complete the roster reinforcement, overall, it is not a loss for the team.
The Cavaliers sent Mitchell to Jalen Green, Landale, three first-round picks (from the Rockets, Nets and Mavericks) and one second-round pick from the Rockets.
The Cavaliers are in sixth place with an 18-13 record so far, and it is a pity to send Mitchell in this deal, but the chips are quite good, first of all, Green is a very young player with very good potential, not to mention 3 first-round picks, which are very valuable, and 1 second-round pick, which allows the team to get better reinforcements and rise quickly.
The Mavericks sent Hardaway Jr., Lively and a top-10 first-round pick and one second-round pick from Tate, Jeff Green, Bullock, Boban, Holiday and the Rockets.
After a poor start to the season, the Mavericks are still doing very well overall, sitting in sixth place with 18 wins and 13 losses, and the trade team gets five players who can add depth to the team's bench and allow them to go further, in addition to one draft pick, and overall, it doesn't suffer.
