In one step, the Rockets and Heat became the next best KD player, and the famous reporter only had a few chips to reach the transaction.

The farce about where Durant will eventually be traded by the Suns has been going for almost a week. Not long ago, it seemed that this good show was coming to an end soon. According to Shams in a TV interview, the Heat and the Rockets became the next best-seller to get Durant. If there is no accident, Durant will join one of the two teams.

Starting a week ago, the competition for Durant was mainly concentrated between the Timberwolves, Rockets, Spurs and the Heat. During this period, there were rumors that teams such as the Knicks, Raptors, and Clippers wanted to get Durant, but they ended up missing.

The Spurs were eliminated because they were unwilling to put Castle or the 25-year pick in the trade, and the management was very cold to get Durant's performance. The Timberwolves' elimination was because they failed to get Durant's promise to renew the contract, and the team was afraid of losing money after paying too much chips.

The Heat and the Rockets have been staying at the negotiating table. According to a news released by Shams not long ago, he said that if Durant eventually joins the Heat, the Heat will give Wiggins + Rozier a balance contract, and there are young players such as Wel, Mex, and Jovic. Although Shams emphasized that the Suns may only be able to select parts from these young players to complete the transaction.

Then a message from him may have made Durant's whereabouts clearer. Shams said that according to the news he received, Durant's trade negotiations will be finalized by only 1-2 chips, and he believes that the deal will be a very complex deal with multiple parties. That is to say, the Suns are trying to pull in third parties or even fourth parties in Durant's trade to complete the deal.

And the news leaked may mean that the Rockets have gained a considerable advantage in the negotiations with the Suns, because the Heat can give the Suns the chips they are based on instant combat power, and the Suns do not need to pull other teams to help complete the transaction. Jaylen Green, the main chip given by the Rockets, overlaps with Suns core Booker and Bill on the bench in terms of position and style. The team needs to pull in a third party to take over Jaylen Green. If Shams's news is true, then Durant's final trading target is likely to be the Rockets.

However, for the Rockets, the 1-2 chips that are missing in the current negotiations may be the key. First of all, the Suns have always been very interested in Jia Xiao. Even in the early stages of the negotiations, they did not want Jaylen Green, but hoped that the Rockets would provide a trading plan with Jia Xiao and the draft pick as the main body.

The Rockets general manager Stone has refused. At the same time, he said that the team will not put Jabbarry Smith or Tari Ethan in Durant's trade. Even if the two players face early renewal this summer, the Rockets do not intend to trade them. If the team cannot reach a contract renewal agreement with the two in the offseason this summer, they will also match the price given by other teams next summer.

In view of the Rockets' insistence on Xiao Jia, the Suns may eventually make concessions and allow the Rockets to put Shepard in the Tanhua Show last year, which may be a transaction result that both sides can accept. As the 24-year Tanhua Show, although Shepard is 1.91 meters tall, he is too huge with NBA players in terms of physical strength, resulting in his failure to meet Uduka's requirements on the defensive end throughout the season. He also changed from the main rotation in the Rockets during the start of the game, and finally became a marginal figure.

However, for the team, Shepard, who is just 20 years old, still has very good potential. As long as his strength is improved to the NBA level, his shooting skills will allow him to easily find a position in any team. This will inevitably attract the attention of the Suns, which lacks point guards. For the Rockets, the reconstruction has ended, and focusing on the present is the right solution! Do you think the Rockets should give more chips to promote a deal with the Suns? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
