According to American media celebrity Sam Amick, the Rockets did not regard Jalen Green as the core of the team, since the Rockets traded Harden, the Rockets management's team building idea is no longer the model of holding the ball and leading the team, therefore, in Jalen Green's first three seasons, Jalen Green's ball possession is not even as Porterdo Jr.
The Rockets didn't really see Jalen Green as the core of the team, and Whitmore, Eason and Amen Thompson have all exceeded the team's expectations this season, and Jalen Green's role has become less important, and the Rockets are willing to send Jalen Green in exchange for a starter-caliber player.
According to sources, the Rockets proposed to trade Green, mainly due to the team's disagreement with Jalen Green over the contract extension, Jalen Green wants to get a contract extension with a maximum salary after the contract expires, but the Rockets also want to retain salary flexibility.
Shin Kyung has performed well this season, he is very hopeful of getting a contract close to the maximum salary, and the contract extensions of players such as Jabari Smith and Eason will not be small, and the Rockets are facing a lot of contract renewal pressure.
