Rockets are not moving this summer? The trade superstar has concerns about taking another guard or sending Green away in the draft

Many believe that the Rockets are on track to bring in a superstar in a trade this summer. Being knocked out of the first round by the Warriors, the No. 2 seed in the West may force the Rockets to revisit their roster, but well-known statistician Hollinger said the Rockets may not rush this summer, even if they have a lot of young players and multiple draft picks from the Suns that can be used as leverage.

In his latest article, Hollinger wrote: "The Rockets may have concerns when trading superstars, given the potential for Amen Thompson or Shin Kyung to grow into the core of the team in the future. Moreover, Jalen Green is actually the team's leading scorer this season, and he's only 23 years old. Admittedly, he may be the worst scorer in history with a 52-win team, but his athletic talent is undeniable and he continues to improve every year. Maybe in a year's time, we will have a very different opinion of him. ”

Hollinger continued: "However, Green's contract extension is both to make him the core of the team and to act as a bargaining chip to match the salary in a blockbuster trade. Especially if the Rockets can pick up another guard in the draft, it's even more likely to send him away. ”

At the moment, the Rockets are not in a difficult situation, so a trade is not imperative. But if there is the right opportunity, they will not miss the opportunity to reinforce. They have the initiative in their hands this summer.

Former NBA player Lowe also spoke about the Rockets' plight on the latest podcast, and he also believes that the Rockets should not rush to make a trade.

"I think it's only worth considering trading Jalen Green if you have a chance to get Ja Morant or Kevin Durant who can completely change the fortunes of the team," Lowe said. Otherwise, they will stand still and fight steadily. The Rockets have a good group of young core players. Although Jalen Green struggled in this round of the playoffs, this was his first playoff game.Think about it, what if the Lakers dropped Kobe Bryant when he didn't play well against the Jazz early in his career?No, players are just about getting around the field, going through the ups and downs, and then adjusting in the offseason to try to be the best player. ”

"In this series, I think Jalen Green should understand that scoring isn't the only way to impact the game. You can't just score, if you don't feel good, don't you defend, don't attack, don't have a presence on the court? These are all areas where he can improve. After all, it's rare to find a player as talented as Jalen Green, and you can't just change it. Our league is just too impatient and rushes to give up when we see players not doing well. Don't do that, give him time to grow and let him learn and improve. He did have big trouble scoring in this series, which affected his ability to bring victory to the team in the game. But with this experience, I believe he will definitely get stronger next season. ”
