Rockets help Harden! Stone proposes a 2-for-2 trade, Jeff Green or to Los Angeles?
After beating the Hawks, the Clippers have won four consecutive games in the Eastern Conference, 05 games. And no one will discuss the transfer of James Harden, after all, he is now the core player of the Clippers, except for Leonard and Paul George, he is the third big man in the league, and after returning to Los Angeles, he has played a total of 44 starts and has never missed a single start for any reason. The 76ers' management team refused to offer Harden a contract with a maximum salary last summer, which finally made him choose to leave, while the 76ers were led by Embiid and Maxey, when Harden was still running in, and the Clippers did not regain the feeling of their prime, some reporters in the United States once revealed the news, and now, all the dissatisfaction is gone, because the Clippers' boss Ballmer has promised to offer him a maximum salary contract. Harden is 34 years old, and he could have won a win in Los Angeles and received honor and fortune.
But unlike Harden's spring performance, Tucker, who joined the Clippers with him, barely played. Although he is 38 years old, Tucker believes he still has a lot of oil to fish. He has won an NBA championship for the Bucks, so he doesn't plan to stay in Los Angeles anymore as the Clippers managers are gearing up to swap him out before the transfer ends to bolster the team. Recently, according to Jack Fisher's Bleacher Report, both the Clippers and Rockets proposed a 2+2 deal to negotiate. If all goes well, then Tucker will be sold to Houston, and the Clippers will trade former Nuggets Jeff Green in exchange for PJ Tucker, Garner, Sean Hyland, and the Rockets for Jeff Green, Aaron Holiday.
The 37-year-old Jeff Green is a power forward and small forward who has averaged 16 minutes this season as a core player for the Rockets5 minutes, you can get 61 point, 21 rebound and 07 assists and a 50% shooting percentage. However, such numbers clearly do not reflect the role played by Jeff Green, who is one of Udoka's most trusted players, and although he is not in Udoka's place, he is often sent on the court in the fourth quarter. Offensively, he's a dangerous three-point shooter, and his speed makes it difficult to defend against him. Defensively, he can protect the box with a body of 107 kg and can exploit him 217 meters tall to stop the opponent's attack. Compared to Tucker, who is poor offensively and defensively, Jeff Green is more balanced in both offensive and defensive aspects, so his arrival will be a big benefit to the Clippers.
On top of that, Holiday is also a good playmaker, he shoots well from mid-range range, especially when he shoots the ball, and his three-point shooting is also good, and he can take some responsibility with Harden. Tucker is a member of the Rockets team who played in Houston for many years and is also a big fan of the Rockets. Tucker can play the role of a coach to inspire Houston's youth. If he still wants to join a team that is in contention for the title, then the friendly partnership between him and Stone will bring him success. The biggest benefit of this transfer to the Rockets is the 22-year-old Hyland, who has a lot of potential, and his shooting skills are also very good, which can make up for the lack of the Rockets' front.
