The draft pick can be exchanged and the combat power is the same? The Rockets may be traded for the first round of the 10th draw, and the 8th rookie is difficult to enter the Aerospace City

The NBA draft will come at the end of this month, and the finals are in full swing, but these are also the last few games of the season. The subsequent draft and trading market opening were no less exciting than the playoffs and finals of this season. Although the Rockets performed poorly in the playoffs this season, the Rockets are one of the most anticipated teams this summer. Many media believe that the Rockets may start a big trading mode this summer.

The Rockets have achieved the second record in the Western Conference this season. The Rockets do have many shortcomings on the offensive end in the playoffs. If some large-scale transactions can be completed, the Rockets' offensive end will be strengthened.

The Rockets' first round 10 pick is also very valuable this summer. The Rockets have two choices: the first is to use the 10 pick and cash it as a rookie, and in that case he will be another rookie that the Rockets have joined in recent years. Now the Rockets have accumulated a total of 7 rookies in the past few years, and their 7 are known as the "Seven Rockets".

If the Rockets fulfill the No. 10 pick this summer, then the "Seven Rockets" will transform into "Eight Rockets", but this probability may not be great, because many people think that the Rockets will not add young players - even seven young players cannot be trained, let alone introduce another new player. Some experts even said that if the Rockets insist on redeeming the first round pick and turning it into a rookie, then the rookie is likely to stay with the Development League Vipers for a long time next season.

After all, Shepard, the No. 3 pick, does not have much chance in the team, and the rookie selected for the No. 10 pick may not be better than Shepard, so his best destination next season is to play in the Development League to maintain his condition. The Rockets have no need to do so. Instead of forcibly winning a rookie, it is really better to trade the No. 10 draw in exchange for the team's combat power to enhance the team's combat effectiveness, so as to strive for the championship next season. Bobby Max, a well-known salary expert at ESPN, revealed in the show that more first-round picks will be traded this year. He also listed some teams that may trade their first-round draft picks, such as the Spurs who can trade the second pick and the No. 14 draw, the No. 3 draw of the 76ers, the No. 8 draw, the No. 19 draw, and the No. 26 and 27 draft picks, as well as the No. 10 draw for the Houston Rockets.

In this way, the Rockets have a chance to exchange their No. 10 draw for a player who is in combat, helping the team quickly improve their strength and quickly achieve results next season. Of course, if the Rockets want to complete those big deals chasing superstars, the No. 10 draw will definitely be one of the main bargaining chips in the transaction. So according to analysis, the Rockets believe that it is indeed difficult to stay in the first round of the 10th pick, and it is difficult for the 8th rookie to join the Space City and join forces with several other newcomers, but this is not bad news for the Rockets.
