The Rockets and the Celtics are planning a 2-for-1 deal? Goodbye Jabbarry Smith Jr.?

US media CBS sports reporter Sam Quinn recently publicly criticized the NBA league. The draft draw has deviated from its original intention. The Mavericks, who are qualified for the playoffs, have won the No. 1 pick, is ridiculous. No wonder conspiracy theorists believe that this is the secret manipulation of President Xiao Hua. His promise of the No. 1 pick will allow Mavericks general manager Harrison to send the league's storefront Doncic to Los Angeles. But from another perspective, the league's current draft lottery system can effectively curb teams that blindly pursue high picks by playing badly, making NBA games more exciting and suspenseful. After the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick, the call for trading Antetokounmpo is getting higher and higher. Flag has the potential to grow into the next superstar and is very attractive to the Bucks management. The inside combination of Antetokounmpo and Thick Eyebrow will be a nightmare for other teams. But most teams in the league want to get Antetokounmpo. Hoopswire reporter Sam Amico revealed that the Rockets are willing to give up Shin Kyung or Jaylen Green in order to get Antetokounmpo.

But from a realistic perspective, Antetokounmpo is an inside line who needs a ball in his hand and has poor shooting ability. His joining will make the Rockets' already limited on-field space more crowded. Even if he can create scoring opportunities through his personal abilities, it will destroy the tactical coherence of the entire team. When facing stronger opponents, he is prone to falling into a situation of fighting alone. Recently, the US media FW suggested that the Rockets and Celtics teams will negotiate a 2-for-1 trading offer in the offseason this summer, so as to achieve the goals they need. If the negotiations go smoothly, Uduka's former confidant player, Derek White, who has the dual-guard attributes, is expected to land in Houston. Jabarry Jr. and Dillon Jr. will be sent to Boston as bargaining chips. The specific trading plan is: The Rockets send Jabarry Jr. Smith + Dillon Brooks to get Derek White of the Celtics.

As Amen Thompson and Tarry Ethan mature, the Rockets' lineup thickness at the wing position is at the top of the league, and even the talented Whitmore and defensive expert Tate do not get the chance to play. In comparison, the Rockets' strength in the backcourt position is relatively weak, Shepard is unable to share the pressure on organizational tandem for VanVleet for the time being. Jaylen Green's attendance for two consecutive seasons concealed the fact that a qualified substitute was missing at the point guard position. Derek White averaged 33.8 minutes per game this season, contributing 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 blocks, and shooting percentage of 38.4% from three-pointers. He is a player who can ensure stable output on both offense and defense. Compared with Ju Holiday, who is declining, Derek White plays a more important role in the Celtics' backcourt. In short, his addition can make the Rockets' lineup structure more reasonable.

For the Celtics, Tatum unfortunately suffered a major injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon and recovered for a year, which directly affected the Celtics' forward strength. The addition of Jabbarry Smith and Dillon Brooks can alleviate the impact of Tatum's absence. When the major competitors in the league are strengthening themselves, if the Celtics do not seek changes, it may be difficult for them to win the NBA championship again with their existing lineup. This deal is expected to achieve the goals each of them needs for the Rockets and Celtics.
