Experts recommend that the Rockets trade 19+5 defenders, and two Tanhuas may be sold, and it is not worth it to make multiple first-round picks?

For the Houston Rockets and their fans, although they made the playoffs this year, they faced elimination so early because they were blacklisted by the Warriors in the first round, so the offseason time is not a few days later than in the past. If the Rockets just want to become a regular player in the playoffs, then maintaining their current lineup, or young players, should be able to achieve their goals, but if they want to enter the championship ranks, they will definitely need subsequent signings.

expert Robo Perez was very smart. He planned a set of plans to advise the Houston Rockets to trade from the Portland Trail Blazers to defend Anthony Simmons. Judging from the specific plan, two former Rockets players, Jabary Smith and Reed Shepard, may be sold, but in the plan, Robo Perez also allowed the Rockets to take on multiple first-round picks, which seems not worth it.

Anfenny Simmons is not very famous, but since Damian Lillard was sent to the Bucks and the Trail Blazers entered the reconstruction period, he has been trained as the core of the backcourt. Although Anfenny Simmons has been affected by some injuries this season, the Trail Blazers have continued to rebuild, and some games are somewhat reserved, allowing Anfenny Simmons to rest in advance. Even so, he still played 70 times, averaged 19.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 0.8 steals per game, making him the best performer of the Trail Blazers. After the Rockets were blacked out by the Warriors, it can be seen that the overall strength of the backcourt is too bad. Even if Fred VanVleet stays in the team, he should gradually retreat to the second line. Jaylen Green is even more disappointing. Compared with these players, Anthony Simmons is more suitable as the main attacking point on the outside, especially when he is not yet 26 years old, which is more consistent with the Rockets' idea of ​​building a team.

The two players sent away in the plan actually seemed a little embarrassed in the Rockets formation. Jabbarry Smith has been in the league for three years, but his progress is really slow. This season, he simply became a substitute and his starting position has been replaced by Amen Thompson. In the series with the Warriors, Jabbarry Smith performed well, but the coaching staff did not give much opportunity, especially by this summer, Jabbarry Smith has the right to renew his contract in advance. If he fails to do so, Jabbarry Smith will become a free agent next summer. Considering that the Rockets' management is the priority to keep Tari Ethan, who is of the same class, he is very likely to be sold by the Rockets in advance as a victim.

As for Reed Shepard, the outside world's evaluation of him is somewhat polarized. On the one hand, Reed Shepard does not perform much, but it is mainly related to the lack of playing time. Reed Shepard has three years left in his rookie contract, so there is no problem keeping him. But there is another saying, that is, while Reed Shepard can still sell potential, if there is a suitable opportunity to change the whole, the Rockets should send him away as soon as possible. Of course, no matter from which angle, if the Rockets give a player of Anfini Simmons a few second rounds or protected draft picks, it doesn't matter to the Trail Blazers. It seems that it wouldn't be wise to give a player of an unprotected first-round pick directly.
