Shepard replaced Powell? The media angrily criticized the 4-for-1 transaction plan: short-sighted and absurd

Sickness is urgent and seeking medical treatment! Pack Shepard and Adams for Powell? The retired media "spacecityscoop" angrily criticized the US media for suggesting the Rockets to solve the potential 4-for-1 trading plan for Van Jordan's injury, bluntly saying that this is a short-sighted and absurd choice.

Van Jordan suffered a serious injury

When the new season is less than one month away and the training camps of each team are gradually opening, the offseason winner Rockets suffered a heavy blow, and the team's starting point guard Van Jordan suffered a torn cruciate ligament injury, which is expected to be reimbursed for the season.

The Rockets signed a new contract with Van Jordan for 2 years, 50 million, including the second year player option, which means that Van Jordan holds a potential trade veto in the new season, and the Rockets cannot directly trade him after being seriously injured.

In addition to using the middle class special case to sign Finney Smith and Capela, the Rockets have triggered the hard hat, and the available salary is only $1.2 million, and they cannot even sign the 15th man with the basic salary to fill the vacancy in the back line.

US media sends 4 for 1 trading plan

Faced with such an urgent situation, the US media also advises the Rockets to try to get Powell from the Heat through a 4 for 1 trade after signing players to trade in the offseason on December 15 to fill the vacancy of Van Jordan. The potential trading plan is as follows: Powell;

The Heat get: Shepard + Adams + 26-year second-round pick + 27-year second-round pick.

Xu media angrily criticized the ridiculousness

Faced with such a deal, the Houcheng media "spacecityscoop" directly used shortsightedness and absurdity to describe this 4-for-1 deal.

From the perspective of ability, Powell looks like a good candidate for dual-sports guard, especially last season he only performed best in his career.

In the absence of Card for a long time, Powell performed an underestimated personal performance, and was the biggest contributor to the Clippers' long-term top six in the Western Conference.

averaged 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game in the 24-25 season. At the same time, he averaged 7.1 three-pointers per game, and shot a 41.8% three-point shooting percentage. Both the output and the three-point characteristics of large-scale production seem to be perfectly in line with the Rockets' reinforcement needs.

But it is not unreasonable for the media to describe this deal with short-sightedness and absurdity. It is not that Powell is poor, but that he cannot fill the gap that Van Jordan lacks.

The most important significance of Van Jordan to the Rockets is not scoring and shooting, but the organization and ball-holding and rhythmic ability, which allows the Rockets, who are not good at attacking positions, to control the situation in chaos.

Powell is a typical endpoint scorer, with limited ability to organize balls in his personal possession. Harden is also responsible for this task in the Clippers. What's more, Powell's scoring output and efficiency plummeted after facing strong defense in the playoffs.

More importantly, the Rockets still need to send Adams out in this deal. He is an indispensable part of the Rockets' "two tower strategy" and also completed self-proving in the playoffs last year.

signed a cost-effective contract with the Rockets during the offseason. The Rockets had no reason to send him away. Even if they had to trade Adams, it would be more important than Capela.

In addition, the Rockets don't have to be so anxious to deny Shepard. As the Tanhua Show last year, Shepard showed the potential and ability of top scorers and ball holders during college.

With the Rockets' current lineup depth, Houston can provide this Tanhua Show with a lot of playing time at the beginning of the offseason to prove itself. As long as the record is not too bad, the Rockets don't need to give up Shepard before the February trading deadline.

Especially considering the massive draft picks in the hands of the Rockets and the high-quality combat power on the verge of rotation, as the season progresses, it is very likely that there will be a chance to buy high-quality point guards at low prices. Don't make the choice to seek medical treatment in a hurry.
