Yahoo Legend's Jake Fischer is crazy, and this time he's going to eat a wave of Houston Rockets traffic.
Jake Fischer said that last summer, during the head coach interview, Rockets management discussed which young personnel should be traded as soon as possible to get the highest return on trade.
Judging from the time at the time, sending Jalen Green away was a high-rise shipment. Jake Fischer broke the news at the end of last season that the Rockets were considering trading the prince for a star.
Although Jake Fischer's revelations have been debunked by multiple Houston reporters, some Rockets fans believe it's time to send Green away to upgrade the roster.
Reporter Jake Fischer said that judging from the trade for Adams, the Rockets are not in a hurry to produce results this season, and they are still patient. The Rockets could have traded Oladipo and Landale for a starter-caliber center like Capela or Gafford instead, but they traded for a season-reimbursed Adams.
Jake Fischer also revealed that the Rockets would be ready to make a move if All-Stars like Mitchell, Embiid, and Zion entered the market this season. Unfortunately, no star of this caliber has yet entered the market. The Rockets will still be looking for ways to bolster their roster before the deadline, but they're more likely to make a big deal this offseason.
Ahead of the start of the season, Houston Fagan also thought the Rockets could be brewing a big trade this summer to upgrade the roster.
Fertitta has a championship as a team goal, and Udoka, who he brought in, is also ambitious.
Mitchell, Zion or Embiid? Apparently Udoka's favorite is seven-time All-Star center Embiid.
Embiid had 41 points, 10 boards, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the home game against the Rockets, while Alperen Sengun only had 19 points, 9 boards, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and had 5 turnovers.
Udoka said of Embiid in an interview: "I've worked with Embiid and know him very well, and I'm not surprised that he scored so many points because of the skill set he has. For a player of his size, there is a lot of feel, a ball quotient and a dedication, so I'm not surprised. Embiid's versatility is an advantage, he's not a traditional back-to-back center, and they let him get out of the low post and move around. He's dangerous in those middle distance areas. He can hit those shots, he can hit 3-pointers, he can get to the free-throw line whenever he wants.
Udoka, who was an assistant coach with the 76ers, praised Embiid for his growth: Before I came to Philadelphia, Embiid was talking about some of the things that people talked about early in his career, and I think Embiid was very mature in some ways. Obviously, he won the MVP and wrote a lot of personal stats in team history, which speaks for itself.
Last offseason, the United States thought that Udoka wanted Embiid and proposed a trade plan: the Rockets sent Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, Tari Eason, Kevin Porter Jr., and Jeff Green. A 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 first-round pick.
Now that Porter Jr. is gone, Sengun has become the Rockets' first point of attack, Ethan and Amen have also earned Udoka's trust, and Jeff Greenberg is not old.
This season averaged 35 per game3 points 113 plates 57 assists 11 steal 18 caps, a healthy Embiid is really good, but his injury is very risky.
Jake Fischer also broke the news that the Bulls reached out to the Rockets asking if they were interested in a Jalen Green centered trade for LaVine. Jake Fischer also admitted on the show that the Rockets were not interested in LaVine and that his contract was too expensive.
Jake Fischer also broke the news that on the weekend of the Adams trade, rival teams were talking about the Rockets' willingness to send Jalen Greena draft pick in exchange for Mikal Bridges, but the Nets were not interested in the Rockets.
