On May 26, according to NBA reporter Sam Amick, the Rockets general manager said in a recent interview that the Rockets are a young team. Head coach Uduka hopes to give all young people the same opportunity. The team does not have an absolute core and everyone can play good data. Moreover, the Rockets young people need opportunities to grow, and we will be patient. But Stone does not deny that she will get a star through a trade this summer. But Stone said that if this deal occurs, the threshold for this deal is very high, and it must be a star that the Rockets can hardly refuse. Last summer, the Rockets renewed Shin Kyung and Green with a five-year, $180 million contract and a three-year, $104 million contract respectively. The former was selected as the All-Star this season, while the latter played 82 games in the regular season and averaged more than 20 points per game. Obviously, Stone made a big profit in these two contracts. Compared with Cavaliers center Mobley, who was selected for the All-A-Series this season and won the Best Defensive Player, triggering the Ross clause. Mobri's contract for the next five years is as high as 270 million yuan in five years, with a total amount of US$90 million higher than Shen Jing. Obviously, Shin Kyung's strength is no less than Mobri, but it is $90 million cheaper.

Previously, according to NBC reporter Kurt Helin, the Rockets were willing to send Shin Kyung and traded to get Bucks forward Antetokounmpo. Obviously, in this deal, Shin Kyung is the best bargaining chip that the Rockets can send. The 22-year-old Shin Kyung is already an All-Star center with an average of 20+10+5 per game, and his contract is also very high-quality. In addition, the Rockets have multiple high-quality future first rounds, which will have a great appeal to the Bucks management. General managers of multiple teams believe that Antetokounmpo's next home is the Houston Rockets, and what Stone calls an undeniable star is Antetokounmpo.
