It s difficult to stay in the team? The Rockets and Hawks are expected to make a deal, and the 26-year-old point guard will assist Shin Kyung and Green

In the 2024-25 season, the Houston Rockets returned to the playoffs with the second regular season record in the Western Conference, but were eliminated by the Warriors in the first round of tiebreak seven. Although the team's performance in the playoffs did not meet expectations, the team's performance is still commendable. The young players in the team will definitely be stronger next season than this season after honing this season. The current situation of the Rockets is very bright. The team has money, needs chips and good young players. As long as they make the right decision, they can soon become a real strong team.

Judging from the situation exposed by the team this season, the team will definitely strengthen the point guard. As for Van Jordan's super big contract! The Rockets will definitely not execute it in one year. Van Jordan himself knows that the two sides are probably negotiating a new contract. After all, Van Jordan is not young anymore. Stability is more important than high salary. He may sign a four-year contract of about 25 million. According to famous reporter Shams, the Rockets will not implement Van Jordan's team options, and revealed that Stone wants to pursue the first point guard of the Eastern Conference, Trae Young; and gave a potential offer. Let's take a look:

Stone will send Whitmore, Shepard and many future first-round picks; Trae Young who gets the Hawks

For the Rockets, if the team wants to go further next season, they can only strengthen the weak areas. In order to get Trae Young, the chips sent by the team are also very sincere, so get the ball What impact does the players have on the lineup? Trae Young is an excellent point guard. He is famous for his extremely high basketball IQ, innovative scoring methods and keen on-field insights. His technical style is different from traditional point guards. He often uses three-pointers and breakthroughs as the main scoring methods, which makes his offensive methods more diverse. He averages 24.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 11.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game. His performance is quite outstanding. As the top point guard in the league, Trae Young's organizational ability and outside shooting ability will significantly improve the Rockets' offensive efficiency. His presence can create more low-level singles and open opportunities for inside players such as Shin Kyung, and may also release Jaylen Green's unball scoring potential and optimize the division of labor in the backcourt. If he can come to the team, his strength will definitely increase greatly, which will also help the team go further.

This season, the Hawks' performance was disappointing, losing one after another in the playoffs and bid farewell to the playoff stage early. This also makes the team's demand for reconstruction more urgent. Although it is a pity for the team to send Trae Young, the Rockets gave the chips very sincere. So what if they get the players? First of all, Whitmore has excellent physical fitness and athletic ability, first-class explosive power, dares to hit the basket, and has stability and usefulness, and has a certain degree of defense. He averages 9.4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist per game. Shepard is also a good potential star. In addition, this deal also received multiple first-round picks, which is also conducive to the team's better strengthening of the lineup and rising rapidly.

Overall, this deal is very good for both teams. If it can be finally reached, please feel free to discuss it in the comment section!
