Sweep out! Grizzlies traded 5 for 1, and the Big Three Groups competed for the championship

The Rockets played in the playoffs so anxious. I just saw that G3 lost against the Warriors again, and now I am behind 1-2. G4 is really a desperate battle.

I specially studied this young Rockets and found that there were many problems.

Except for Van Vleet and Dillon, other core players such as Green, Shin Kyung and Smith seemed to have changed their individuals in the playoffs. Especially at critical moments, I feel distressed by those decision-making mistakes. In the regular season, I felt that these young men were very aggressive in the inside, but I was stunned when I encountered the Warriors' joint defense and had no way to break it.

The Rockets' three-point shooting ranks 27th in the league, which is really fatal in the playoffs.

There was a big news two days ago. NBA reporter Haynes broke the news that the Rockets wanted to use Van Vreet, Whitmore, Shepard and two first-round picks for Morant. When I saw this news, my first reaction was: The Rockets are going to take a gamble! If you think about it carefully, this transaction is indeed quite reasonable.

Morant's regular season data is there, averaging 23.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.4/30.9/82.4%. He is the kind of player the Rockets lack the most now who can solve battles at critical moments. Just imagine, the combination of the three giants "Morant + Shinkyung + Amen" is simply too scary.

But then again, Morant is indeed a little "flawed". There are super stars on the court, and there are always troubles outside the court. These negative news are really troublesome. But if you are in the Rockets management and you can get Morant at this time, would you bet?

From the perspective of the Grizzlies, this transaction is not a loss. Van Vreet is a stable point guard and his shooting is accurate. Although he is not young at the age of 35, he is indeed useful. I have seen this young man Whitmore, whose physical fitness is explosive, and his defense is also quite good, but it still needs to be crafted.

The most important thing is that those two first-round picks are too important to the Grizzlies.

To be honest, the Rockets' current situation is indeed not optimistic. If G4 loses, he will basically go home to fish. It will be more important whether Morant can come. Don’t look at the rumors flying all over the sky now, I think this transaction will definitely be successful. After all, Rockets boss Tilman Fertitta is not a fuel-efficient lamp and dares to do anything to win the championship.

If this transaction really happens, the western landscape will completely change next year. With Morant, plus Shin Kyung, the No. 1 pick, and Amen, the defensive monster, his strength will definitely increase sharply. But then again, it takes time to get started, so it’s hard to say whether you can get results immediately.

Finally, let me say something about my personal opinion: This is how the NBA is, only when there is risks can you gain. Now it is time for the Rockets to make a choice. Conservatives may sink in, and gamble may bring light. No matter what, as a Rockets fan, I still hope that they can find a breakthrough and reshape their glory.

G4 this season is a life-and-death battle for the Rockets. I hope they can withstand the pressure and give us a surprise. After all, the charm of the NBA is that you never know what will happen in the next second.
