Rockets young star Jaylen Green, his performance in this playoffs is very disappointing. Although this is the first time in Green's career to play in the playoffs, there may be a relatively nervous situation, even if he uses this as an excuse to judge Green's performance, he still fails. After all, Green is the Rockets who focus on training as a backcourt star, and the team has given him a lot of resources. Originally, he was hoping that he could take the lead in the Rockets' backcourt, but after a round of playoffs, it proved that Green was obviously embarrassed.

Rockets fans are now very disappointed with Green. In the survey conducted by the US media, a large number of fans believe that the Rockets should give up Jaylen Green. The Rockets management may also think so. Green is deeply involved in a series of trading rumors this year. Whether it is the transaction rumors involving Antetokounmpo or Durant, Jaylen Green will inevitably involve. This means that Green is likely to be the Rockets' trading chip for the offseason this year. This second-tier show in 2021 may have entered the countdown stage for the Rockets' career.

However, Green himself still hopes to stay with the Rockets. According to Rockets reporter Kelly Iko, a Rockets reporter who works for The Athletic, several sources in the league revealed that the name of Rockets guard Jaylen Green has been linked to trade rumors about Durant and other stars. He is determined to improve his struggle in the playoffs and hopes to stay in Houston (Rockets). Jaylen Green's salary this season is $12.48 million. Last year, he signed a three-year, $105 million early contract renewal with the Rockets, which will be implemented from the 2025-26 season.

2024-25 season, Jaylen Green played 82 regular season games, averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 42.3%, 35.4% and 81.3% respectively in the three games. For the first time in the playoffs, Jaylen Green played 7 times, averaging 31.3 minutes per game, scoring 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 37.2%, 29.5% and 66.7% respectively in the three games.

In my opinion, although Green has a certain Rockets plot and he does not want to be traded, to be honest, it has proved that it is difficult for Green to develop in the past four years. Let's put it this way, do Rockets fans remember Wood, a player who is no one wants now. He can average 20+9 per game and hit a 50%+37% shooting percentage. Now, Jaylen Green has let him play for 4 years. This is an exaggerated shooting percentage. The Warriors even use Boger and Curry to defend him alone in the playoffs. Nowadays, when the Rockets are not broken or established, there is no light for a useless player like Green to keep it.

As a loyal and old fan of the Rockets, it is heartbreaking. Green is physically talented, but he really doesn't have any competitive spirit. It is said that the Warriors are defending him. I want to ask what level of Boger, what level of Hilder, what level of defense you can't even get the ball away, all kinds of passes are cut off, and you are beaten by the media to take over Jordan Kobe. As a result, a player with a low salary and wandering around the league has no temper. He always dribbles in various ways and fancy dribbling. The double team quickly gets off the ball before it even comes up.

Amen's shooting is so bad, but others dare to fight. Green has surrendered before he started. If he wants to trade, he will give up Green or Dillon, the two most popular main players in the playoffs! Durant's deal is expected to be settled before this year's draft begins. Will the Rockets complete Durant's deal? Can Green continue to stay in Houston? There will be a result soon.
