US media revealed: The Rockets plan a shocking deal for 6 to 2 offseason, and want to win the second leader of the Celtics Jaylen Brown!
In the NBA journey this season, the Houston Rockets ranked second in the Western Conference with a regular season record of 52 wins and 30 losses, successfully entering the playoffs, showing strong competitiveness. However, in the fierce competition with the Golden State Warriors in the first round, the Rockets unfortunately lost in the tiebreak battle and missed the second round. This defeat also made the Rockets management realize that if the team wants to go further in the future season, they must further optimize and upgrade the roster.
The specific trading plan is: the Rockets send Jaylen Green, Jabbarry Smith Jr., Whitmore, the first round pick from the Suns in 2025, the first round pick from the Suns in 2027, and the first round pick from the Suns or Mavericks in 2029, and get Jaylen Brown and Connett from the Celtics!
For the Rockets, Jaylen Brown's joining will greatly enhance the team's strength. This season, Brown averaged 27 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 48% from the field and 38% from three-point shooting. Not only does he have excellent scoring ability, he is extremely threatening whether it is mid- and long shooting or breaking through the inside, but he also performs well on the defensive end and can effectively limit his opponent's scoring. Brown's arrival will form the Rockets' new core lineup with Shin Kyung, Van Vreet and others, making the Rockets more competitive on both offensive and defensive ends.
In addition, the addition of Robert Williams III will also strengthen the Rockets' inside strength. He is an excellent center, averaged 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, has strong basket protection and rebounding protection, and can build a solid barrier for the Rockets' inside line.
From the perspective of the Celtics, the deal also has its rationality. They got three promising young players, Jaylen Green, Jabbarry Smith Jr. and Tari Ethan, as well as three first-round picks. Green has amazing athleticism and scoring talent, Smith has excellent shooting ability and defensive awareness, and Ethan is tough on the defensive end. Their joining will inject new vitality into the Celtics while laying a solid foundation for the team's future development. With Tatum as the core, the Celtics may be able to optimize their cap space and team lineup structure.
However, this transaction is still just a revelation and idea of the US media, and it faces many uncertainties in actual operation. Rockets general manager Stone once supported Jaylen Green at the season summary meeting and was reluctant to give up this potential star too early. It is also unknown whether the Celtics are willing to let Jaylen Brown go, one of the core players. In addition, the issues such as player salary matching and team chemistry involved in the transaction require in-depth discussion and trade-offs between both parties.
In any case, if this 6-for-2 deal is really reached, it will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the future of the two teams and will inevitably cause shock to the entire NBA league. Fans will also wait and see what decisions the Rockets and Celtics will make during the offseason.
