Completely negative assets? The Suns are not interested in Green. Famous mouth: Green is not bad and the Rockets enter the Western Conference Finals

On June 22, 2025, there are still many trading rumors about Durant in the NBA. Previously, the Rockets' chips were mainly Green + No. 10 picks, but the Suns were not interested. They wanted Dillon + No. 10 picks, Jabarry Smith Jr. or Ethan, but the Rockets did not agree, so it is difficult to reach a deal unless the Suns lower the asking price.

For the Suns, they are most likely to trade with the Rockets in Durant's trade, after all, the future draft pick is in the hands of the Rockets. But they were not interested in Jaylen Green, otherwise the deal might have been reached very early. So for the Rockets, Jaylen Green may really have become a negative asset to the team.

, and recently, famous talker Stephen A. Smith talked about the Rockets on the show "First Take". He said very bluntly: "We all know that they have not proved their scorer. If Jaylen Green meets people's expectations, instead of scoring in 5 games (actually 4 games) in 7 games, the Rockets will enter the Western Conference Finals.

In fact, in this year's playoffs, the Rockets are really a little short of breaking through the Warriors. If Jaylen Green can make a stable scoring contribution in the last two games, the Rockets will really have a chance to break through the Warriors. After breaking through the Warriors, their defensive intensity is a huge advantage against any team, and they really have a chance to at least enter the Western Conference Finals.
