39 points and 9 assists! US media recommends that the Rockets exchange 5 for 1 Garland, and give Jaylen Green another chance?

Although many Rockets fans like Mitchell, the Cavaliers may prefer to send Garland away from now on.

"Open-Air Stand" recently proposed a trading plan: the Cavaliers gave a first-round pick and sent Garland to the Wizards for exchange for Jordan Poole.

The question is that Garland was selected as the All-Star twice and is only 25 years old. Why does he have to pay for Poole?

First, Garland has won his value this season's playoffs, and the transaction value has dropped.

Second, Garland's contract is close to $40 million next season, while Poole only has $31.85 million.

Garland only played two games in the series against the Heat due to injury, scoring 27 points and 21 points respectively. Lee Kyle publicly stated in an interview that when Garland was not on the court, the Cavaliers looked like a stronger team.

Garland's situation reminds people of Jaylen Green. Many fans think that he dragged the Rockets back in the playoffs, and that he was better for the team when he was on the bench.

The US media clutchpoints suggests that the Rockets 5 exchange 1 Garland.

Garland's poor performance in the playoffs actually has a reason. He insisted on playing with injuries. Head coach Atkinson said: He has been working hard and has made a lot of efforts to be able to play. The healthy Garland still has something to do.

Rockets beat the Cavaliers away this season. Garland performed better than Mitchell. He scored 39 points and 9 assists in 37 minutes, made 14 of 22 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws, with a plus-negative value +1. Garland scored 16 points in 8 minutes in the final quarter, almost saving the Cavaliers. The Rockets' best player in that game was Amen, who scored 23 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 2 steals, and Jaylen Green scored 26 points, which was also a contributor to the winning game.

Garland is a small defender like Van Jordan, and his advantage is his stronger offensive ability. Garland averaged 20.6 points, 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game in 31 minutes this season, shooting percentage of 47.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 40.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 87.8%. Garland can not only break through with the ball, but also shoot three-pointers to open up space and create opportunities for teammates. In contrast, although Van Jordan has good defense, he lacks breakthrough ability, unstable three-point shooting, and a larger contract.

Can't ignore the fact that Van Jordan has played inefficiently most of the season just because he broke out in the playoffs. Van Jordan's contract with $44.89 million next season is the team's option, and the Rockets are still evaluating him.

Knights are facing salary pressure and may consider trading Garland in order to save money. "clutchpoints" analyzed several next players suitable for Garland and proposed a 5-for-1 plan for the Rockets. The Rockets sent Dillon, Smith Jr., Landale, the 2027 Nets' first-round pick swap rights and the 2028 first-round pick.

"clutchpoints" believes that although the Rockets have good defense, their offense is not good. This team needs to increase their three-point firepower and increase the organizers. Garland's characteristics can be adapted to Rockets' double stars Alperen Sengon and Jaylen Green. It seems that this American media believes that Jaylen Green should be given another chance.

Some Rockets fans also believe that General Manager Stone should consider Garland, who still has room for improvement after all, is young. However, it was not Dillon and Smith who wanted to give out chips in the Garland trade, but Jay Green, who was quite disappointing. Some fans said that Garland's offense is better than Jaylen Green, who can give up and stop keeping him.
