Suns: If the Rockets chase Durant, two new Houston stars will be included

On June 13, according to reports, the Suns are accelerating Durant's trading efforts. There are currently many teams chasing Durant, such as the Rockets, Timberwolves, Spurs, and even the Heat and the Knicks. These five teams are the teams Durant is most likely to go to. There are also some dark horse-level teams, such as the Clippers, who seem to be interested in Durant. After all, the three giants that form Durant, Harden and Leonard are also one of the best solutions for the Clippers to strive for the championship.

And for the Rockets, they have quite a lot of bargaining chips. It can be said that the Rockets can give the most things among these teams, because the Rockets exchanged multiple first-round picks or first-round picks from the Nets last summer. The Rockets are now firmly holding the Suns' life gate. If the Suns want to rebuild, then you can rebuild, but you must regain your draft picks in order to rebuild smoothly.

How to regain the draft pick? He can only trade other chips for his own first-round picks from the Rockets, so Durant is one of the best trading chips. Although the Rockets are skeptical about Durant's age, the Rockets now know what they need - a top scorer who averages nearly 27 points per game is indeed the talent the Rockets need most.

According to Suns' follow-up reporter John Gambardo, any Suns and Rockets' trading plan for Durant may include two new stars of the Rockets, namely their shooting guard Jaylen Green and substitute power forward Jabbarri Smith Jr.

I believe everyone knows that although Jaylen Green occasionally performed well in the regular season and had won the Western Conference Player of the Week award in the regular season, in the playoffs, Jaylen Green is indeed a bit unreliable. In many games, he scored in double digits in the seven games, and when he was strictly guarded, Jaylen Green had no choice but to do anything, and even was ridiculed by Dream Chasing Green. After that, Jaylen Green's mentality plummeted and he was sleepwalking on the court. So although the Rockets have taken a fancy to Jaylen Green's talent, his spiritual attributes and personal hard-solving ability are indeed not very good.

Jabbarri Smith Jr. is a player with relatively slow progress. In the three years since joining the Rockets, his data has not improved much, and his personal performance is far inferior to that of the Magic Power Forward Kaylo, who is the same class as him. Moreover, Smith Jr. and Durant overlap. Once Durant is obtained, Smith Jr. can be sent away. Besides, there are two players, Amen Thompson and Ethan, in the Rockets' power forward position, and Smith Jr. is basically useless in the team.

Although it seems a pity to send Smith Jr. and Jaylen Green away, you should know that the Rockets can exchange for superstar Durant, then this seems to make everyone feel balanced. Durant has at least two or three years of his peak period. The Rockets can use these two or three years to seize the time to compete for the championship. After all, Durant can make the Rockets' offense smoother. Coupled with the Rockets’ growing young players and the second-place regular season record in the Western Conference this season, we have reason to believe that once the Rockets complete such a deal, they will become the favorites for the championship.

As for the Suns, they not only regained their draft picks, but also won two new stars from the Rockets. It can be said that the Suns' reconstruction speed will also be improved. It can be said that the Suns did kill two birds with one stone.
