Rockets trading plan is released? 18-man lineup 17 people can trade! Antetokounmpo cannot change the 22-year-old striker

Send away some young players and first-round draft picks from the team to get star-level combat effectiveness. This is the main idea for the Rockets this summer. Although Rafael Stone Manager has repeatedly emphasized that the lineup may be continuity, everyone knows that maintaining the continuity of the lineup means that the Rockets will be hindered from the absence of superstars next season. Without superstars, the Rockets can indeed get good rankings and records in the regular season, but once they enter the playoffs, I'm sorry, the Rockets really don't have much combat effectiveness.

can indeed win some playoff games with team offense and strong defense, but if you want to go further, the Rockets must be able to stand up on the offensive end. This season, the Rockets suffered a bad offensive loss, returned in the playoffs, and were eliminated by the Warriors. So, trading stars like Antetokounmpo, Durant, and even Zion Williamson and Ja Morant have become a potential target this summer.

Although some reports point out that the Rockets are becoming less and less interested in the 36-year-old Durant, other reports point out that some sources revealed that the Rockets are indeed planning to chase Antetokounmpo's potential deal. The Rockets want to use their ace center Shin Kyung to exchange Antetokounmpo, but the Bucks may be more optimistic about Jaylen Green and Jabbarry Smith Jr., plus the packing of several first-round picks in the future, such chips may be exchanged for Antetokounmpo.

Rockets' ace center Shin Kyung, the Bucks don't know why they are not interested. But no matter what, if the Bucks want to trade Antetokounmpo, the Rockets will immediately catch up. There is no doubt about this.

The Rockets have rich chips, so I won’t say more here. In the first round draft picks, the Rockets can trade about 6; there are many young players on the team, as well as expiring contracts like Van Vreett. Once the Bucks want to complete the trade, the Rockets can all be selected by the Bucks.

But according to the famous NBA reporter Sam Amiko, the Rockets do want to chase Antetokounmpo, and they are not a joke this time. If Antetokounmpo can be traded, the Rockets will take out almost all the final chips to complete such a deal. Of the 18 Rockets players, 17 can be traded, with only 22-year-old young forward Amen Thompson. This season, Amen Thompson averaged 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.4 steals in the regular season, and his data in the playoffs have been further improved.

and after the All-Star, Amen Thompson has always occupied the position of the Rockets' main power forward. So, seeing that Amen Thompson, who is only second-year, can perform better and better, the Rockets will hardly give him to other teams. After all, Amen Thompson is the only player in the Rockets' 18-man lineup who has superstar appearance. Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung's ceiling is roughly the same, and Amen Thompson has the chance to become the Rockets' future superstar.

So, it is reasonable for the Rockets management to refuse to trade Amen. In other words, even a superstar like Antetokounmpo is difficult to let the Rockets send Amen Thompson out, which shows that the Rockets still attach great importance to Amen Thompson's value.
