Rockets remain unmoved this summer? Trading superstars are worried. If they win the defender or send Green away after the draft

Many believe that the Rockets are expected to bring in a superstar through trade this summer. As the second seed in the Western Conference, being eliminated by the Warriors in the first round may force the Rockets to re-examine their lineup, but well-known data expert Hollinger said the Rockets may not be eager to achieve success this summer, even if they have many young players and multiple draft picks from the Suns who can serve as bargaining chips. In his latest post, Hollinger wrote: "Considering that Amen Thompson or Shin Kyung may grow to the core of the team in the future, the Rockets may have some concerns when trading superstars. Moreover, Jaylen Green is actually the team's scoring champion this season, and he is only 23 years old. It is true that he may be the worst-performing scoring champion in history to lead 52 wins, but his athletic talent is unquestionable and every year Progress. Perhaps a year later, our evaluation of him will be completely different. "
Hollinger continued to analyze: "However, Green's contract extension is not only to make him the core of the team, but also to act as a bargaining chip to match salary in heavy trades. Especially if the Rockets can gain another defender in the draft, the possibility of sending him away will be greater."
At present, the Rockets are not in a difficult situation, so the transaction is not imperative. But if there is a suitable opportunity, they will not miss the opportunity to strengthen. They take the initiative this summer.
Former NBA player Lou Wei also talked about the situation of the Rockets on his latest podcast program, and he also believes that the Rockets should not be in a hurry to make a deal.
Luwei said: "I think it is worth considering trading Jay Morant and Kevin Durant, who can completely change the fate of the team. Otherwise, keep calm and play steadily. The Rockets have a group of outstanding young core players. Although Jay Green struggled in this playoff round, this is his first time playing in the playoffs. Think about it, what would happen if Kobe gave up on him when he was not performing well against the Jazz early in his career? No, players just have to struggle on the field, experience ups and downs, and then adjust their state in the offseason, and strive to become better players."
"In this round of series, I think Jaylen Green should I understand that if you want to influence the game, scoring is not the only way. You can't just score. If you feel bad, don't defend, don't organize your offense, and have no sense of existence on the court? These are the places where he can improve. After all, it is rare for players like Jaylen Green to be talented, and you can't just change it. Our league is too impatient. When you see the players perform poorly, you rush to give up. Don't do this, give him time to grow and let him learn and improve. In this series, he did encounter big trouble in scoring, which also affected his ability to bring victory to the team in the game. But with this experience, I believe he will definitely become stronger next season. "
