Rockets and Bucks trades are in the first form? Main chips Green + Smith Jr. + first round! 3-party trading is required

In the playoffs, if a team wants to go further, in addition to having a superstar, the role lineup cannot be too weak. Whether it is the Pacers, Knicks, Thunder or Nuggets today, they are all led by a superstar in a group of powerful role players. So for the Rockets, if they want to trade a superstar next season, their role player lineup cannot be too bad.

In fact, the Rockets are just the opposite of this season. They have a strong role player lineup and many star players suitable for being the second and third leaders, such as Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung, Amen Thompson, Van Vreet and Smith Jr., but the only one missing is that superstar. Seeing Curry of the Warriors and Jimmy Butler of the Heat can call the wind and rain in the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets must be only envious.

Therefore, this summer, finding ways to get a superstar became the Rockets' main job. Although the Rockets management has always stated that they may also retain the integrity of the lineup - that is, they do not make big deals to chase superstars, obviously judging by the Rockets' overall strength now, they have enough chips. If they miss the good opportunity to chase superstars, they will definitely regret it very much. Moreover, in the playoffs, the Rockets have suffered a huge loss without superstars, and it is not enough to only trust young core players like Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung.

The Bucks' Antetokounmpo may be traded, and the Rockets are regarded as one of the most ideal next players. If the Rockets want to get the top five superstars in the league, chasing Antetokounmpo this summer should be the best choice. According to reports, in Antetokounmpo's trading plan, the Rockets are willing to send away core center Alperon Shinkyung. This season's regular season, Shen Jing can average 19 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and the playoffs has gone to a higher level, averaging 21 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game. It is said that Shin Kyung is "Little Jokic", and this is absolutely true. Everyone thought that Shin Kyung's various data and performance would decline in the face of tough defense in the playoffs, but obviously his performance was better.

According to the latest news, the Rockets wanted to send Shen Jing away Antetokounmpo, but the Bucks did not seem to agree. According to reports, the Bucks may want to use Jaylen Green as the main bargaining chip, and also need to take advantage of young forward Jabbarry Smith Jr., and many future first-round picks for the Rockets also need to be added to the trade. Of course, it seems difficult to reach the Rockets and Bucks deal alone by both sides, and it also needs to be pulled into third-party teams for salary matching so that the transaction can be officially completed.

Therefore, the Rockets' main trading chips seem to have begun to take shape, that is Jaylen Greene Smith Jr. plus multiple first-round draft picks. In this way, the Bucks can build a lineup with Jaylen Green and Smith Jr. in the future. If Lillard can recover, coupled with Lillard and Kuzma, the team still has a chance to enter the playoffs or go further in the East. If the Rockets get Antetokounmpo, their overall strength will be improved rapidly and they will be fully capable of targeting the NBA championship next season.
