The Rockets want to give up Xiao Jia? He has him in all deals, and it is revealed that he has exchanged Antetokounmpo with Green

Recently, many media have reported that the Rockets are still pursuing Antetokounmpo. The Rockets have given great sincerity, and Jaylen Green and Shin Kyoto can be used as bargaining chips to trade. But perhaps the most uncomfortable thing is Jabbarry Smith, Jr., because the Rockets seem to be giving up on him. According to NBC Sports reporter Kurt Helin, Jabbarry Smith Jr. has become a necessary part of it in the deals that are mainly Jaylen Green or Shin Kyung.

The Rockets have renewed their contracts with Jaylen Green and Shin Jing in advance. Next, Jabbarry Smith and Ethan are qualified to renew their contracts in advance. Perhaps due to the cap space and the team's failure in the playoffs, the Rockets will make personnel adjustments. The "Double Ghost Slap" composed of Ethan and Amen Thompson is a super defensive combination that the league is terrified of, and Ethan's scoring ability is also good. As for Jabbarry Smith's status, it's quite embarrassing. After returning from injury, he has already been snatched from the starting position by Amen Thompson.

plus Jabbarry Smith's performance this season is very average. Although he is a relatively short space power forward in the team, instability is his fatal weakness. In Uduka's tactical system of defense first, Jabarri Smith is very embarrassed and has a thin figure. Although he can play in the fifth position, his defense is not very good. When the Rockets chose Jabbarry Smith Jr., it was because of his excellent shooting ability, but now his shooting ability seems to have disappeared. Therefore, when the Rockets adjust their personnel, they give priority to Jabarry Smith Jr. as a bargaining chip trade.

Jabbarry Smith Jr. has excellent shooting ability and rebounding ability. He could have become the existence of Bosh, but because of his weak control luck, he could only be a big space. If Jabbarry Smith Jr. gains weight and shoots stably, it may become the answer to the No. 5 position in the small ball era. But due to financial pressure and the team's current tactical system, the Rockets may really want to give up on him.
