The Rockets, Bulls and Knicks are planning a three-party deal, and Towns and Jaylen Green swap?

Once upon a time, the Rockets favored Durant. In order to impress the Suns' management, General Manager Raphael Stone did not hesitate to trade a draft pick with the Nets, with the purpose of obtaining chips that could quote Durant. But once and forth, the Rockets have become the second place in the regular season Western Conference through a season of hard work, but the Suns can't even participate in the playoffs. According to TA Rockets reporter Kelly Iko, Suns general manager James Jones has called the Rockets several times, with his purpose of retrieving the future draft picks belonging to the Suns, but the Rockets management is worried that Durant's age and playing style will undermine the tactical system that head coach Uduka finally established, so this deal is difficult to reach.

Recently, US media "Open-Stand" reporter Jake Fischer suggested that the Rockets management will pursue the Knicks' All-Star inside Anthony Towns during the offseason this summer. He performed poorly in the Eastern Conference Finals this season. During the game, he was criticized in public by star Brunson because of his lack of defensive attention, and almost had physical conflicts. Although he had just arrived in Big Apple for a season, Towns had his mentor Thibodeau handed over the coaching seal twice. Another time was in the middle of the 18-19 season, when Towns and Thibodeau were still playing for the Timberwolves. Because the record failed to meet expectations, Thibodeau eventually left, but Towns was safe, but this time he probably didn't get through the difficulties so easily.

The reporter provided a three-party trading offer to the Rockets, Bulls and Knicks. If the negotiations go well, Towns is expected to go to Houston to partner Shin Kyung, which is a pair of inside teams that combines top-notch back-to-body singles skills and excellent passing skills. Towns' arrival can solve the problem of insufficient offensive firepower for the Rockets. His mid- and long-distance shooting ability is second to none among inside players, and has also won the All-Star three-point competition championship; the Knicks will receive three matches as compensation to increase the depth of the lineup; the Bulls' management goal is future draft picks. The specific trading plan is:

1. The Rockets sent Jaylen Green + Jabbarry Smith Jr. + Jessian Tate (sign first and then exchange) + the first round pick of the Knicks with the 10th pick in 2025;

2. The Bulls sent Ayo Dosum to get Jessian Tate + the first round pick in 2025;

3. The Knicks sent Anthony Towns to get Jaylen Green + Jabbarry Smith Jr. + Ayo Dosum.

Downs is a player more suitable for the Rockets than Durant. First of all, he is only 29 years old, has attractive static talent and top athletic ability, and combined with superb three-point shooting skills and diverse offensive methods, so that he can do whatever he wants in the inside on the offensive end. Towns' disadvantage is that he is not focused enough on the defensive end and is prone to missed people. This is also the biggest difference between him and top inside players such as Antetokounmpo and Embiid. The Rockets can use Towns' shooting skills to open up the field, and the existence of many defensive vanguards such as Ethan, Amen, Dillon, and Adams can try to make up for Towns' shortcomings on the defensive end. For the Bulls, after DeRozan and Laven left one after another, Donovan's team has started reconstruction work, so they are not very interested in Dausum, who is outstanding in fighting power but has limited development potential. He can play Brunson's substitute in the Big Apple City, sharing the physical and physical pressures of too much playing time for him.
