Rockets season summary, Stone officially announced its offseason plan, and the three players are determined to stay in the team, who will be traded?

In the 2024-25 season, the Rockets achieved the second record in the Western Conference in the regular season, but in the first round of the playoffs, they lost to the Warriors in the tiebreak and missed the semi-finals. The Rockets have not been particularly successful this season, nor have they failed. They are well-behaved, with joy and sorrow. Some of the young stars perform better and some play poorly in the playoffs. Shin Kyung can perform in the playoffs: averaged 20.9 points + 11.9 rebounds (fourth in the league) + 5.3 assists + 1.9 steals + 0.4 blocks per game. Shin Kyung's four statistics in playoff scores, rebounds, assists and steals are the highest in the team. In the second place, Jaylen Green averaged only 13.3 points + 5.4 rebounds + 2.9 assists + 0.6 steals + 0.3 blocks per game in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of only 37.2% and a three-point shooting percentage of 29.5%. It is obvious that Jaylen Green played poorly in the playoffs and did not perform as expected, and Rockets fans were relatively disappointed. US media ESPN reporter released the data of Cningham and Jaylen Green for the first playoffs. Cningham averaged 25 points + 8.3 rebounds + 8.7 assists + 1.8 steals + 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 42.6%, which was better than Jaylen Green in all.

Rockets forward guard swingers, Amen Thompson played better in the playoffs this year than in the regular season. Amen Thompson averaged 15.7 points + 6.9 rebounds + 3.3 assists + 1.7 steals + 0.9 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 49.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 25.0%. Although Amen Thompson's mid-range shooting ability is average, he plays very hard, has a lot of offensive breakthroughs, and has a very strong defensive confrontation. Fans all say that Amen Thompson plays like a desperate madman, he is the real playoff tough guy, and Amen Thompson may be one of the core cornerstones of the Rockets' future.

Rockets general manager Stone was interviewed by the media and talked about many issues, including the offseason and the possibility of a trade. First, Stone believes that the Rockets' current system is not built around a player, and maintaining the continuity of the lineup is a way, but this does not mean that the team will not change. If we think there is a certain deal or a series of deals that make it more likely for us to achieve this goal, we will complete these deals regardless of the consistency of the lineup. Stone also stressed that no one cannot be traded.

Rockets reporter wrote an article to analyze that the team is currently quite sure of the core of retaining: Shin Kyung, Amen Thompson and Adams. Adams is willing to stay here, and we also want to keep him, and we will come up with a solution. As for young new stars, almost everyone can trade. In the offseason this summer, superstars such as Antetokounmpo and Durant are expected to become the target of the league's trade competition. The Rockets have the opportunity to pursue a superstar because the Rockets have enough young stars and first-round picks as bargaining chips.

Now many fans are discussing which young stars will the Houston Rockets trade? Jaylen Green, Jabbarry Smith, Tari Ethan, Whitmore, Shepard, etc. The Rockets use Jaylen Green, Shepard, and Whitmore to trade superstars. There are too many young players in the Rockets now, so they will definitely not be able to train them. Therefore, it is important to make a quick decision and trade back to top stars to create a stronger and stronger championship lineup. This is what Stone is working hard to do. Which players do you think the Rockets will trade in the offseason?
