On May 13, a well-known American sports media TA reporter revealed that the NBA Rockets management has recently discussed the transactions surrounding Jaylen Green's Suns star Durant or Booker in the offseason:

They believe that Durant is not suitable for the current Rockets, and he is already 37 years old and his annual salary is also more than the team's salary space. It is not worth it to send away too many young players' assets for his transaction; on the other hand, if Jaylen Green is used to trade Booker, Jaylen Green is younger than the latter, and the Rockets still believe that he will continue to grow. Booker's poor performance and lack of leadership this season have made the Rockets management lose interest.

But there is one possibility that Jaylen Green will become the main bargaining chip in the trade, that is, the Bucks Antetokounmpo may break out of the contract during the offseason and become the biggest superstar in the offseason. The media revealed that the Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Lakers and other teams. If Antetokounmpo agrees to join the Rockets, Jaylen Green will be pulled immediately and become an important bargaining chip in this trade. Perhaps Jaylen Smith will also pack and send it away together.

According to US media, the Rockets management highly unanimously recognized Jaylen Green's performance and big heart ability this season. Regarding the instability of the playoffs, as a young player, it must give him room for growth and maturity. After all, the Lakers also gave Peter Pan a certain amount of time to hone his skills.
