Rockets: Ambitious trade moves The Rockets haven't made any trades recently, but their ambitions are huge. They are willing to trade six rookies including Shin Kyung and four first-round picks for an All-Star player who could change the team's fortunes. This shows the determination of the Rockets to improve the team's competitiveness by bringing in top players. Udoka, as the central figure of the Rockets this season, has played a key role. Not only did he bring about a cultural change for the team, but he also led the team towards victory. Udoka wants to revolutionize the Rockets and stop them as a mediocre team. He wants the team to build the squad they want to fit into his tactical system. Udoka has a strong voice in the team and wants to get some players who can defensively, have a steel spirit and have a big-picture vision. These players can not only set an example for the younger players, but also provide solid defensive support to the team.
At the moment, the Rockets don't have many players who meet Udoka's requirements, so he wants to trade to get the players he needs to improve the team's performance. The Rockets have six rookies and four first-round picks, which could be used as trade chips. Udoka's desire to bring in All-Star players has caught the attention of the league. The Rockets are ready to use rookies such as Shin Jing, Smith, Green, Eason, Thompson and Whitmore as trade chips. Although the Rockets are reluctant to trade Smith and Eason, they could also drop the two players with great potential if they have a favorite. The Rockets' ambitions aren't limited to their current roster changes. They hope to change the fortunes of the team and improve the team's competitiveness by bringing in All-Star players. They want to build a team with a complete squad and a strong squad to meet the challenges ahead. Such ambitions have also attracted widespread attention and expectations from fans.
They are eager to see the Rockets' rebuilding plan succeed and the team be able to achieve even better results during the season. However, it also raises some questions: Will the Rockets be able to find a suitable trade partner? Are their trade chips enough to attract other teams? Will they be able to build the team stronger in a short period of time? Currently, the Rockets are actively looking for a suitable trade opportunity. They are in contact with other teams with a possible trade scenario. At the same time, they are also watching other teams for possible trades. The Rockets' ambition and determination will be key to their future success. No matter what, they will fight hard to change the fate of the team. Fans are also looking forward to seeing the Rockets' rebuilding plan succeed and the team be able to perform even better in future games.

"rockets' rebuilding plan: seeking all-star talent"- ESPN's Houston Rockets plan to bolster their roster in a trade next summer, and they want to get an All-Star-caliber player to fill the current roster gap. The Rockets need a backup point guard, an All-Star caliber forward and an interior coolie.
According to sources, Rockets head coach Udoka believes that Jaylen Brown of the Celtics is the All-Star who best fits their system and can be the team's leading big brother. As a result, the Rockets plan to acquire Brown by trading their own rookie and first-round picks. The Celtics could trade star players like Brown next summer due to salary cap pressure. The Rockets have the Nets' 24 and '26 first-round picks and their own 25 and 27 first-round picks as trade chips, which is expected to attract interest from other teams. The Rockets have decided to hit hard this summer, and the Celtics may need to trade players to defuse the salary cap pressure because they haven't won a championship. However, such a deal is not easy to complete. First of all, the Celtics are very valuable to Brown, and they won't give up the young player with potential easily. Second, other teams may also have doubts about the Rockets' trade chips, as those draft picks have no actual trade value.
In addition, the Rockets are not the only team hoping to get Brown. According to the report, the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers have also expressed interest in Brown. That means the Rockets will need to work harder in the race to get Brown signed. However, whether or not they can successfully trade Brown, the Rockets will need to make a series of changes next summer to improve the team. They need to find a reliable backup point guard to take the pressure off the lead point guard John Wall. They also need an All-Star-caliber forward to bolster the team's offensive firepower. Finally, they need an interior coolie to protect rebounds and defend the interior. Next summer is a pivotal moment for the Rockets. They need to find the right players in the trade market to improve their squad. At the same time, they also need to make some adjustments in their squad to adapt to the new tactical requirements. Only through such efforts will the Rockets be able to achieve better results in the new season.
Brown is certainly a very attractive player for the Rockets, with excellent physicality and a well-rounded ability to attack and defend. However, it won't be easy to get such a deal done, and it will require Udoka and Rockets management to make some smart decisions. First, Udoka needs to decide if he's willing to trade one of their team's cores, Harden. Harden is the Rockets' scoring machine, and his departure will certainly have a big impact on the team. However, if Udoka believes in Brown's potential and thinks he can be one of the team's future cores, trading Harden is also a good idea. Second, Rockets management needs to give the Celtics a sufficiently attractive ** through a trade. Brown is a young player with a lot of potential, and the Celtics certainly won't let him go easily. The Rockets may need to offer some attractive trade assets, such as future draft picks or other young potential players. Finally, the trade must comply with the NBA's salary limits.
Brown's current contract is still relatively low, and the Rockets can balance the salary by trading other players to meet the demands. Overall, the chances of the Rockets getting Brown depend on the decision-making and operational capabilities of Udoka and the Rockets management. If they're willing to make some big adjustments for Brown's sake and are able to offer an attractive **, then a deal could become a reality. However, this is only a possibility, and it remains to be seen whether a deal can be concluded.
