If the trade is obtained by Durant, the Rockets starting lineup can be upgraded! Following the team reporter is expected to start next season: Amen will play No. 2 position

The Rockets want to use Jaylen Green to buy the No. 10 draw for Durant, but the Suns are willing to get the No. 10 draw, but they are not interested in Jaylen Green. After all, Jaylen Green scored less than double in 4 of his seven games in the playoffs this season, and his only 38-point performance was really eye-catching. What the Rockets need is not Jaylen Green's sudden outbreak and scored 30 or 40 points in a certain game, but his stable output - it is enough to score more than 20 points in every game.

After all, Jaylen Green is only 23 years old, and he still has a lot of room for improvement. The Rockets don't like this Jaylen Green who is a god-like game. Uduka needs a player who can defend, pass and have stable output. Obviously, in the past four years, Jaylen Green has been following Silas to take the initiative to play badly in the first two years, and in the next two years, Jaylen Green is also difficult to integrate into Uduka's tactical system. After all, Uduka is a head coach who focuses on defense, and Jaylen Green prefers the kind of chaos and random attacks in the Silas tactical system, so Jaylen Green is not suitable for the Rockets today. So the Rockets wanted to trade him and the first round pick for Durant, but the Suns didn't like Jaylen Green and rejected the Rockets' deal.

, and the Rockets' follower reporter Jackson Gatlin pointed out on his social media that he believes the Rockets can chase Durant, but the upper limit for chasing Durant is only three bargaining chips: the first is Jaylen Green; the second, the Rockets can send out their substitute power forward Jabbarri Smith Jr.; in addition, the Rockets should not send out the No. 10 pick this year, but give out the first round draft pick protected by the first four picks in 2027. There can no longer be more three chips, so the Rockets have a chance to chase Durant.

If the Suns agree to such a deal, Durant will play for the Houston Rockets next season. After all, the Suns now admire Smith Jr. If they can get Smith Jr., they can also get Jaylen Green and the No. 10 sign. It seems that such a quote will be accepted by the Suns.

If such a deal is completed, Durant will directly join the Rockets. Although the Rockets lost Smith Jr., they didn't have much relationship. After all, Durant and Smith Jr. have the same position, and his ability is better than Smith Jr.

Even if Smith Jr. is sent away, Durant can upgrade to the forward position. In addition, Jaylen Green has many players who can replace him, such as Amen Thompson, Tate, Aaron Holiday, Shepard, and even Whitmore. The Rockets' follower reporter predicts the starting lineup of the Rockets after Durant joins next season: point guard Van Vreet, Amen Thompson will no longer serve as power forward, but will instead play as the second position to replace Jaylen Green. The small forward and power forward are Dillon Brooks and Durant, and the center position is Alperen Shinkin.

In this way, the Rockets' starting lineup is actually to replace Jaylen Green with Durant, and the other players remain unchanged. The Rockets' starting lineup has undergone a major upgrade, and Durant is a powerful scoring superstar. He replaced Jaylen Green, and the Rockets' outside firepower will increase rapidly. Coupled with the offenses of Shin Kyung and Van Fleet and the defenses of Amen Thompson and Dillon Brooks, the Rockets' lineup has really become an offense and defense, and their starting lineup will also be among the top five in the league. But the premise is that the Rockets want to get Durant.
