Udoka redeems Lowe! Rockets Nuggets brewing a three-way deal, Najib assists Shin Kyung?
The Los Angeles Clippers have overtaken the Nuggets to become third in the East, only one round short of the University of Minnesota, which is second in the East. James Harden, with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, has shown amazing strength on both the offensive and defensive ends, and even the championship-winning Nuggets can't do anything about them. However, it is clear that none of these giants want the Clippers to win a championship, and it is very important to strengthen the roster during the holidays. After the Nuggets lost two main players, Bruce Brown and Jeff Green, the overall level of the team began to decline, and Connelly set his sights on Tate, because the Nuggets' salary level is so low, so Tate has become the best person to consider at the team's top management, and he is likely to replace Brown.
Recently, NBA Analysis reported that the Nuggets, Rockets, and Trail Blazers may negotiate a three-way contract before the deadline, and if all goes well, forward Tate may go to Denver to help Jokic, while Lowe, who has ended the season due to injury, will go to Houston to continue playing for Judoka, and the agreement between them is as follows:
1. Nuggets' Ruben Cheek Nagy + Justin Holiday get Jesean Tutter + one (2024) second-round pick (3);
2. The Rockets sent Jasean Tate, Jock Landale, a 2024 Rockets second-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick, and a Memphis second-round pick Robert Williams + Roberto Nagy;
3. The Trail Blazers sent away Robert Williams in exchange for Jock Landale, Justin Holiday and a second-round pick from the Clippers, as well as a second-round contract in 2027, and a second-round contract.
Tate is the main reason why the Rockets are in the top 10 per game average this season, and he has formed a strong forward lineup with Dillon Brooks and Tari Ethan, although Eason and Dillon are both injured, Tate has become isolated, and his three-point line is constantly declining, which is why Udoka is so cautious. Tate played 184 minutes, an average of 46 points 35 rebounds 11 assist on 47 shots9%。There are not many teams interested in Tate, including the Celtics, Suns, Bucks, etc., and if the Nuggets can get him, then their chances of winning the championship will be greatly improved.
Lowe, who was also a favorite of the Celtics during his time, was traded to the Trail Blazers this season for a move to Porzingis. To make matters worse, due to a knee injury, he played only six rounds and the entire season came to an end, which is sad. The 26-year-old Lowe, the managers in Portland plan to ** him in the summer, and Yudoka takes a fancy to his physical fitness and basket protection skills, and will not care about waiting another year for Lowe. The 23-year-old is an all-round player who has played an average of 9 minutes this season4 minutes with an average score of 31 point 21 rebound 05 assists and he shot 464%。Najib is Shin Kyung's workhorse, and he has what it takes to establish himself in Houston.
