"Rocket wait two more months!" The Deal in Udoka's Eyes
In the turbulent Rockets season, Udoka's distress gradually became apparent. Udoka was mentally prepared for the Rockets' situation, but found that the team's problems were even more serious. Young players develop bad habits, the squad has narrow offensive space, and the defense is weak, and Udoka is not easy to adjust.
Van Jordan and Dillon were brought in to strengthen the team, but Udoka's desire to buy Da Luo was denied. Attempts to build Green into an all-around defender have also failed to pay off. After the expectation of a trade in an experienced player was disappointed, Udoka could only grit his teeth and endure it for another two months.
With the Rockets' playoff hopes slimming, the focus turned to the big summer trades. It is understood that the Rockets have an extra deal in 2031, and the first-round pick can be unlocked, or it may become a weapon for recruitment. The Willis deal left Houston deeply indebted. At the moment, the Thunder have a number of Rockets draft picks, which could be a future trade.
While studying the draft picks in the Rockets' hands, reporter Ben Dubose pointed out that the Rockets have a number of potential at the moment, with the 2024 Nets first-round pick being the most notable. But in addition to draft picks, the Rockets could also trade players for them. Tate and Jalen Green are potential trade targets, while Sengun may be a casualty.
Tate averaged 17 per gameA good performance in 5 minutes is expected to attract the interest of other teams. And Jalen Green, despite playing for the Rockets for many years, has failed to grow as expected and may leave the team in the summer. Sengun, despite his impressive performances this season, does not meet Udoka's requirements for a center and could be a variable in the trade.
In the future of the Rockets, the trade market may become the key to their recruitment. How will Udoka lay out the summer deal, and what kind of new changes will the team usher in? Let's wait and see what the future of basketball will brilliant. As fans, we can't help but wonder if Udoka's patience can usher in a team transformation. The Rockets are in dire straits right now, but a summer trade could be an opportunity for them to turn around. And the 2031 first-round pick, like an unlocked key, opens up new possibilities for the team.
All parties in the Rockets' ambitions are keeping a high level of interest in the summer trade. Although the former Willis trade made the team lose money, the current draft pick inventory has become a weapon for future recruitment. Although the Nets' 2024 first-round pick is ranked in the top 10, its potential cannot be underestimated, which may become a magic weapon for the Rockets to attract superstars.
The Rockets don't just rely on first-round picks. The team also owns a series of draft picks and players as traded. Tate and Jalen Green are both potential trade partners, and their departure will be revealed in the summer. This also allows the Rockets to negotiate more in the recruitment market.
Rockets management took a cautiously optimistic approach to the summer trade, hoping to reshape the team with the trade. Houston fans are looking forward to the new trade that will make a difference to the team and create a better environment for Udoka and the players to develop. And the value of the 2031 first-round pick will also be highlighted in the future.
Udoka may be feeling the pressure of waiting, but as a coach, he understands that it's part of the basketball journey. Endure for another two months, maybe the Rockets will have a new atmosphere, and the summer trade storm that fans are looking forward to will also come as scheduled. In this basketball game, how will the Rockets play their cards and what kind of future will they usher in? It's an unsolved mystery, and it's also a basketball feast that fans are looking forward to.
Looking back on the past of the Rockets and looking forward to the future, this team may be standing at a new historical juncture. In the summer trade, Udoka endured for two more months, which may be a key step towards their glory. Looking forward to this summer, looking forward to the new chapter of the Rockets, let us witness the charm of basketball together, and the pace of chasing dreams will never stop.
