Green was furious! Rockets Trail Blazers negotiate a 5-for-1 trade
Against the Grizzlies, several of the Grizzlies' starters didn't play, and Jalen Green was replaced by Udoka in the fourth quarter because of his poor form. Not only did Whitmore fail to take advantage of Van Vleet's absence to show everyone what he was capable of, but he was also disappointing to steal his light. The RooshWilliamians streamer was furious when asked if Whitmore should play starting point guard, saying, "I'm not being used enough, I don't want to be a sixth man." "The news puts Jalen Green back in the spotlight.
There have been rumors of selling Jalen Green this season, and although he is still in Houston, a transfer is still very likely. A newspaper in the United States" nbaanalysisnetwork"A 5+1 offer was made to Houston and Portland, both of which were undergoing summer transfers. If all goes well, then 3D MVP Jerami Grant will be in Houston and Jalen Green will be part of the deal, and the Rockets will send Jalen Green, Jessian Tate, Jeff Green, Jessian Tate, Jeff Green, a 2026 second-round pick from the Clippers and a 2027 Memphis second-round pick in exchange for Jerami Grant from Portland.
With two wingspans of 2.21m and a weight of 95 kg, the 29-year-old Grant can play big and play two positions. This season, he has averaged 33 appearances per game9 minutes, get 217 points, 37 rebounds, 27 assists, 3 points, 403% three-point shooting. He's an all-around shooter with great static talent, a lot of physicality that can play multiple roles, great rebounding skills, excellent 3-4 points, and a lot of improvement from mid-to-long range. Grant can play a variety of roles and is the best 3-D in the NBA, but he can't be a first-team leader, so the Trail Blazers' managers have no interest in Grant, who is almost 30.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Van Vleet, Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr., and Shen Jing have averaged -29 points in their grouping this season7, which is a discouraging number. For the Rockets, this transfer can be described as a double-sided knife, the addition of Grant can certainly strengthen the team, but it will make Tari Essien, Whitmore, Amen Thompson and others lose the opportunity to play. In addition, he only has 4 years left on his contract300 million, so the Rockets need to risk signing him.
Jalen Green is only 22 years old, has top-notch athletic talent, and is also an excellent strength and conditioning coach, and just like Silas last season, he needs a manager he can thoroughly trust. Trail Blazers coach Billups is an excellent guard coach, while Jalen Green is hoping to get more playing time in Portland. In addition, Tate is also a very valuable big midfielder who can temporarily fill Grant's place in the team. Jeff Green's contract is an optional clause for the team, and managers in Portland have the right to waive this contract so they can prepare for their own salary space.
