The performance of the Rockets' new recruits is eye-catching! Stone is determined to scratch the lottery!
One pays, one gets one, and Washington gave Gaverd a minimum pick in the first round of the draft. A 25-year-old guy with a good figure, who can eat cake and can protect his rebounds, is really worth it.
The Bletchel report has previously reported that Gafford will be the first to be drafted at the Rockets center guard position, and many fans feel that he will be a good candidate, and that Stone will be dealt with soon.
But the Rockets can't afford Gafford, and the Wizards are reluctant to trade him, because they know that there are a lot of people chasing Gafford. In the end, Stone's second-round draft opportunity traded Adams back.
The Rockets want to keep waiting, but Dallas, who hails from Texas, can't wait, hoping to keep their top scorer Doncic. The Rockets would prefer Doncic to be traded if he offered to be traded, but Dallas wasn't going to pass up that opportunity.
The Dallas Mavericks officially welcomed Gafford in what they know as the No. 21 jersey.
Dallas traded for Gafford and Holmes from the Wizards, as well as a 2024-first-round pick and a 2028-first-round pick to the Thunder, according to earlier news from well-known journalist Woj.
Gafford scored 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting, nine steals and one steal in 17 minutes. Doncic couldn't be happier with his new signings.
According to the Bleacher Report, the Rockets must replace Brogdon with Brogdon after several NBA reporters, including Shams, revealed that Brogdon was the point guard Udoka was looking for, so he could start for Jalen Green before the transfer deadline.
In the end, while Stone was still there, the Rockets finally decided to sign Brogdon, and this season, his annual salary is 22.5 million.
Houston Chronicle reporter Fagan said that the Rockets traded Oladipoga's three second-round picks for Adams, which is also the core concept of the Rockets.
The Rockets will continue to revolve around a team consisting of Jalen Green, Alpern Sengen, Jabari Smith, Tari Essien, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore. Even though the Rockets may sign a few players before the trade deadline to bolster their roster in preparation for the playoffs, they still have to be careful with their rosters so that they don't have too much of a shock to Whitmore or Amen's appearance.
Brogordon wasn't a core, he was just a good character. The Rockets' management team doesn't treat Jalen Green like a dead man, he's just because he still needs some time to get used to.
With 26 points, 14 steals and 10 assists, Jalen Green single-handedly carried the entire team. Although the Rockets were defeated by the Hawks in the end, Green's outstanding play earned praise from everyone, including his supporters.
Udoka said Jalen had a great day, quickly fitting into his team rather than rushing at the fans. He played very well and when he received the ball he made a beautiful pass and that made me happy.
Amen, who didn't go to college like Green, has now improved a bit. As Van Jordan eventually opted out, Amen played four games and scored 15 points, 14 steals, 5 assists, 1 steal, 13 steals, 6 assists, 3 turnovers, 8 points, 9 steals, 4 assists, 1 turnover, 12 points, 11 steals, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover.
Amen's shooting percentage has risen to 50 this season3%, he has excellent under-basket finishes and mid-range shooting, but his three-point shooting is still terrible, and his rebounding skills are top-notch.
Even if the Rockets get Brogdon, they may not be able to make the playoffs, and the training of Green and Amen will be hindered because of this, which is not a good deal for the Rockets. Portland has been emphasizing the need for at least one first-round pick. Brogdon's absence and injury are annoying for the Rockets. Portland hasn't found a disappointing replacement, as Brogdon has done for the past three seasons, and the timing of his return is uncertain.
