3:42pm, 16 August 2025【Basketball】

On August 16, the league will have many teams with excellent lineups next season, such as the Rockets, Nuggets, Thunder and Clippers. They are all considered popular to be the champions. The Rockets rely on their offseason operations and are optimistic that they will achieve good results next season. Speaking of this, let’s take a look at the 10 players with the highest trading value of the Rockets. Durant is only ranked second. Let’s take a look.

10th Capela

The Rockets signed Capela with a three-year, 21 million contract in the offseason. Although Capela has not had the performance of the Rockets' Cake King in the past few years, he is only 31 years old now and is still at the peak age. It's just that because the Hawks don't get so many opportunities, the data has declined. He still has the strength to start the center, and now he is only the Rockets' third round center. Maybe the Rockets may trade him in the future, which is worth multiple second-round picks.

Ninth Finney Smith

Finney Smith signed him with a four-year contract of 52.79 million. Finney Smith is one of the best 3D players in the active league. However, the Rockets are likely to let him leave the team after completing the contract, because as Ethan grows, he will become the answer to the Rockets' No. 3 position, so Finney is likely to be sent away by a trade in the future. His excellent shooting ability can also switch to multiple positions, worth a protected first-round pick.

Eighth Adams

Adams signed the Rockets with a three-year, 39 million contract during the offseason. Although he can only play as a substitute, Adams did a great job in protecting rebounds and protecting the frame. He relied on his terrifying power and killed in the inside. It was also very terrifying to kill the Warriors in the playoffs. It was difficult for the Warriors to have multiple attacks on the team. Although he averaged less playing time, he could tear down his opponent's formation as long as he played. It was so amazing that he was also worth a protected first-round pick.

Seventh Shepard

Although Shepard did not get much chance after joining the Rockets, he was the Tanhua Show after all, and was originally considered the next Curry, and the ball quota was extremely high. If a team is willing to train him, it is not impossible to become an All-Star player in the future. The Rockets will give him more playing time in the new season. If it can meet expectations, the Rockets will keep it. If it does not meet the estimate, they will be sent away. He is worth an unprotected first-round pick.

Sixth Van Jordan

Van Jordan is an All-Star backcourt. He only asked the Rockets for a 2-year, 50 million contract in the offseason. Such a contract is too worth the money. The Rockets are likely to not trade him. Unless the team has the opportunity to get a star of Antetokounmpo, Van Jordan will stay in the team. Van Jordan has top defense and field control capabilities, and has experience in championship competition. In this case, he is worth the price of a young player + first round pick.

Fifth Ethan

Although Ethan's attendance rate due to injury has not been very high in the past few years, his potential is obvious to everyone. In the future, his lowest limit will be top 3D, and now he is a very outstanding 3D player. The upper limit may be a top-level offensive and defensive star like Leonard. Uduka also values him very much. The team still wants to renew his contract. However, considering that he may have a big contract, the Rockets may endure the pain of giving up. He is worth 2 first-round picks.

Fourth Jabarry Smith

Smith renewed the Rockets with a five-year contract of 125 million. Although Jia Jia has not had enough ball rights in the past few years, friends who have watched his game know how outstanding Jia Jia is. He has great potential and has the opportunity to become the No. 4 position of Jaren Jackson in the future, and the top 3D inside space. Considering the great price, if you want to trade and get him, you probably will have to wait at least 2 first-round picks.

The third Shin Kyung

Shen Kyung is now one of the potential representatives of the younger generation of the league. He is considered to have a chance to reach the Jokic level in the future. Although his speed is not fast enough, his passes and low-post kills are great. Last season, he was one of the players who were hit the most in the league. Because the team's space is not good, his opponent dares to hit him. Even so, he can still perform well. One of the Rockets' non-selling products, if you want to change him, he will probably give him a potential young player + 2 first-round picks.

Second Durant

As a superstar in the former league, Durant is now at the end of his career. Although it is not as valuable as before, it still requires a lot of effort to change him. The Rockets and Durant are now waiting and watching. After all, Durant has the opportunity to sign a two-year, 120 million contract with the team. Durant is afraid that the Rockets will not meet expectations, and the Rockets are afraid that he will lose his peak, so both sides are very cautious in renewing the contract. Durant can get chips for the All-Star + first-round pick.

Amen

This is a Rockets' non-sale product. In the Rockets' view, even if Antetokounmpo enters the trading market, they will not exchange it for Amen. In their view, Amen will have the opportunity to become a super giant in the league and become a Rockets' appearance character. Amen has such talent. As long as the offense is improved in the future, he may be a top-level star with offense and defense. Since it is a non-sale product, he will definitely not trade, and his trading value will definitely be the highest.
