Pierce said that the Lakers did not give up Kobe, who was slamming, and the Rockets should not give up Jaylen Green!

The Rockets have been very successful this year, both in the regular season and in the playoffs, but Jaylen Green in the team was beaten to reveal his true form. He thought he was the pillar of this team, but he did not expect that he would seriously drag him down! So what should we do with the Rockets' future? Will Jaylen Green still be trained? This is a difficult problem. After all, it is your own child. It is impossible to give up casually. So whether to leave or stay? NBA legend Pierce said he was willing to give him a chance!

Jaylen Green played well in the regular season, but his performance in the playoffs was hard to describe, especially in the Warriors series, except for 38 points in one game, the scores in the other six games were 12 points, 11 points, 9 points, 8 points, 8 points, and 7 points respectively. It is obvious that this is the performance of a role player. Compared to the average score of 21 points per game in the regular season, this performance is really shocking!

So the key question now is, no matter how good you play in the regular season, it cannot play a role in the playoffs, so what's the use? To put it bluntly, it doesn’t work at critical moments. So should the team keep him?

Recently, Pierce talked about Jaylen Green's issue with Garnett on the "KG Certified". His view is very clear. Young people need to grow up, and the Rockets should give him a chance. Taking Kobe as an example, when Kobe was in the Lakers, he shot a three-no-touch game with the Jazz in the Western Conference Finals, which led to the Lakers being swept out.

Compared to Kobe, Jaylen Green's performance is not so unacceptable. This year, it is only Jaylen Green's first playoff journey. It is reasonable to face the experienced, Warriors' focus on defense from the beginning.

So is Jaylen Green worth continuing to cultivate? Let’s take a look at his early comparison with Kobe.

➡️Jaylen Green, this year is his fourth year. He averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists in the regular season, shooting percentage of 42.3%, and three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%!

➡️ Kobe, in the fourth year of his career, averaged 22.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, shooting percentage of 46.8% and three-point shooting percentage of 31.9%!

Judging from the data comparison between the two, Kobe's data is obviously better than Jaylen Green, and his shooting percentage is higher. Jaylen Green's three-pointer is relatively better. This is just in terms of offense and defense. Kobe was able to get 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks at that time, while Jaylen Green could only get 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks! After comparing this way, the gap suddenly emerges!

Overall, Kobe is better than Jaylen Green on the offensive end, but Jaylen Green is not that it is much worse, but on the defensive end, Kobe's influence is far stronger than Jaylen Green. Of course, you can't compete with Kobe with all the players, after all, he is an epoch-making superstar! If you are not good enough to compete, you are better than Kobe, and you are not good enough to compete, it does not mean that Jaylen Green is very bad.

So will the Rockets keep Jaylen Green, and will they continue to give him trust and regard him as the team's future? If nothing unexpected happens, it is most likely that this is!

➡️First of all, Jaylen Green has been practicing in the Rockets for 4 years and finally played. To be precise, he played in the regular season and was let go in vain. Does the Rockets have to spend another 4 years to train another player?

➡️Secondly, Jaylen Green lost his value in the playoffs this year. If there were no playoffs, I believe his trading value was pretty good, but with his poor performance in the playoffs, he wouldn't have much trading value.

➡️Finally, the Rockets cannot give Jaylen Green a chance, and this year is just his first playoffs. He played poorly and could find a reason, but at least, he has to try again. As the saying goes, there are repeated again and again, but not repeated again and again. Now there is another one, then at least there is another one.

There is another very important issue. Now letting Jaylen Green go. As for the Rockets, there is no one who can replace him and make up for his scoring. You should know that in the regular season, it is a 20-point gap. When he is with him, it feels like that, but when he is without him, no one can get it up. So if nothing unexpected happens, the Rockets will still be the same people next season, and the lineup will not change any major changes.

As Pierce said, Kobe played so many irons and the Lakers did not give up on him, so Jaylen Green felt bad and performed poorly. What reason does the Rockets have to give up on him without trying it? Especially for the team's general manager, if he gives up Jaylen Green and plays well in other places, he may not be able to keep his job, just like when the Hornets let Kobe go, and the Mavericks give up Doncic, it is the same. After all, it is very unusual for general managers like the Mavericks' management to be bold!

Pearce said that the Lakers did not give up Kobe, who was struggling with the iron, and the Rockets should not give up Jaylen Green!
