The authoritative American media "Hoopshype" has included the top 26 centers in the new season, among which Jokic of the Nuggets topped the list, and Shin Kyung ranked fourth. Because of his outstanding performance in the Men's Basketball European Championship, Shin Kyung's ranking is well deserved. Rockets general manager Stone said in an interview that there will be more attempts to make Shin Kyung the power forward in the new season. The Rockets' double tower tactics have achieved great success, with Adams, Capela, and Jabbarri Smith Jr. all able to play the role of starting center. The Rockets' lineup is already quite reasonable, with powerful players in almost every position. The only drawback is that after Jaylen Green and Whitmore left, the staffing configuration of the shooting guard was slightly thin. Amen Thompson could serve as the starting position, but lacked a qualified substitute.

Recently, the US media FW suggested that the Rockets join a tripartite deal involving the Lakers and the Nets, thus obtaining second-round rookie Jaylen Wilson who performed well last season. The Lakers management has set former Clippers player Terence Mann as the primary target for signings. He has experience in assisting superstars such as Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, and has proved his strength on the playoff stage. The specific trading plan is:

1. The Lakers send Maxi Cleber + Dalton Kneckett + the Lakers' second round pick in 2028 get Terence Mann of the Nets;

2. The Nets send Terence Mann + Jaylen Wilson get Maxi Cleber + Dalton Kneckett + the Lakers' second round pick in 2028 + the Kings' second round pick in 2029;

3. The Rockets send Jaylen Wilson to the 2029 get Jaylen Wilson.

Jaylen Wilson is 24 years old, 1.98 meters tall, 2.03 meters in wingspan, and weighs 100 kilograms. He plays as a swaying man on the court. He averages 25.7 minutes per game last season, contributes 9.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists, and has a shooting percentage of 40%. He has a wealth of scoring methods, but because of his limited athletic talent, his offensive efficiency is not high. This season, the Nets have 17 formal contract players, so they need to streamline the lineup before the new season begins. Nets management won four first-round rookies this summer, and Jaylen Wilson had no advantage in their competition with them. Joining the Rockets and playing around Durant can give him more exposure and a chance to win the championship.

This deal is an urgent task for the Lakers, general manager Pelinka has always been interested in getting Mann, especially after losing the starting small forward Finney Smith. Mann was sent to Atlanta by the Clippers in a deal involving Bogdanovic, and then sent to Brooklyn by the Hawks this summer in exchange for Porzingis. His emotions were affected by the continuous back sting, and it was difficult to concentrate all his energy on the game. Returning to Los Angeles might be able to soothe his injured heart. The Nets are still focusing on training new players in the new season. Head coach Fernandez hopes to take the opportunity to find the cornerstone of reconstruction. Mann and Wilson are not in his future plans. Compared with Kleber's expiration contract, Kneckett is more valuable for training. He showed outstanding mid- and long-distance shooting ability in his rookie season and is expected to grow into a high-quality 3D type player in the future.
