Rockets and Suns 3 for 1? Legendary tips: Dual core + newcomer for Durant! The Warriors are defeated by the grand formation
12:22am, 8 May 2025【Basketball】
Although the Rockets won the fifth game of the playoffs against the Warriors, the Warriors actually did not consume much. Because star players such as Curry, Butler and Mengmeng Green only played for more than two quarters before they left the court for a break. Coach Cole took the initiative to replace these core players in preparation for the next game to defeat the Rockets.
After all, the Warriors were already 27 points behind in this game after the end of the first half, and the game basically entered a period of time when the winner was scored, so there is no need to chase the points desperately. Even if he lost this game, the Warriors still lead the Rockets 3:2 with a big score. With the next home advantage, it can be said that the balance of victory has been tilting towards the Warriors. As long as they can perform normally, the Warriors' victory over the Rockets in the next game led by Curry, Jimmy and Dream Green.
And in this game, the Warriors also gained more things, such as a large number of substitutes warmed up on the court and performed quite well, and even forced the Rockets' starting players back on the court, consuming a lot of their physical fitness. If the two teams fight again one day later, the starting players of the Rockets will have huge physical problems. So, the Rockets may not be able to eliminate their opponents in the first round of the playoffs.
If the Rockets are out, as mentioned before, the Rockets management will definitely want to recruit a superstar this summer. The Rockets are not short of chips now, including veterans whose contracts expire, as well as a large number of first-round draft picks, and 7 young players to trade.
Former Thunder center Perkins took the initiative to give advice to the Rockets in a show. In his opinion, the Rockets still have a chance to defeat the Warriors, but they may have to wait until next season. The Rockets can pack their dual-core Jabbarry Smith Jr. and Jaylen Green, plus the young forward Whitmore, to trade 3 for 1 for Suns superstar Durant this summer.
In this way, the Rockets have a chance to defeat the Warriors. After all, what the Rockets lack now is a superstar who can make a final decision. The Rockets lost 3 games in 5 games. In these 3 games, the Rockets basically scored no points at critical moments, so they lost. If Durant comes, coupled with the Rockets' super-class lineup depth, they have a perfect chance to beat any opponent.
So, there should be some hope for giving up Jaylen Green who performed poorly in the playoffs this season, as well as Whitmore and Jabbarry Smith, who have few opportunities, because the other side is Durant. Although Durant is 36 years old, his competitive form remains first-class this season. And the Suns are probably willing to trade with the Rockets. After all, the Suns plan to rebuild, and Durant is the best bargaining chip.
The Rockets also have the right to swap first-round picks and first-round draft picks for multiple Suns. If these chips can be traded with three Rockets' new players to the Suns, the Suns are willing to send Durant to the Houston Rockets. If the Rockets want to win in the present, it's time to chase Durant this summer.
The Rockets can form a luxurious starter for Van Vreet, Shepard, Dillon, Durant and Shinkyung, as well as a second team composed of Holiday, Tate, Ethan and Adams. This lineup has a chance to win the championship.
