Harden and Amen are perfect matches, US media suggests that the Rockets trade Jaylen Green to the Clippers

Although Uduka really hopes that Van Jordan can continue to play in the Rockets, the player himself has adapted to his life in Houston and does not want to move anymore. But Rockets general manager Stone, who wants to save money, still needs to think more about it and is unwilling to make a decision so quickly.

The Rockets signed Van Jordan with a contract that was a significant premium. Stone asked to change the third year to the team option (unguaranteed). The agent agreed, but added a clause. That is, the Rockets have to decide whether to implement this team option within 5 days after the end of the playoffs this season. Now the Rockets are still going to evaluate young players, waiting for the lottery draw, Stone and Van Jordan's agents communicate, hoping that the team's options will be delayed.

The result is now out. Famous reporter Shams revealed that the deadline for Van Jordan's 2025-2026 season's 44.9 million team options were postponed to June 29 local time.

NBA reporters said that with the postponement of Van Jordan's team, it also means he can be traded on draft night.

Although Van Jordan broke out in three games in the playoffs, his overall performance this season is still sorry for his contract. Stone said his evaluation of players was to consider the entire season rather than a playoff round. Under such circumstances, Van Jordan does have the possibility of leaving.

"twsn" says Harden and Amen are perfect matches. The former can sort out the Rockets' offense, while the latter is the core of the defense. The US media suggested that the Rockets trade Jaylen Green to the Clippers.

Former NBA player Parsons did not hide his love for Harden when he participated in the show and kept saying good things to him. But this time Parsons had to admit that Harden failed to stand up at a critical moment in the playoffs. Parsons said: Harden must score 35 to 40 points in such a game, but he only made 8 shots in the G7, which is a problem. Harden is almost 36 years old, and we don’t know how many opportunities he has. I just want to see him more aggressively, breaking through the scoring and standing on the free throw line, and he can do better in these aspects than other players we have ever seen.

Parsons was disappointed with Jaylen Green's performance in the playoffs. He said: In any big deal, Jaylen Green will be the main bargaining chip, such as Durant, Antetokounmpo or Morant.

If Harden returns to the Rockets and leads the young people to compete for the championship, Parsons should be happy to see it.

"twsn" said Harden still has feelings for Houston, and his return to the Rockets to play will be the perfect ending. The trading plan proposed by the American media: the Rockets sent Jaylen Green and Cam Whitmore and got James Harden from the Clippers.

Amen has excellent athletic ability. Harden can let him eat cakes and vomit, making him more comfortable to play. Smith Jr. does not take the ball, and his shooting percentage reaches 50% in the playoffs and 45.5% in the three-point shooting percentage, but he doesn't make much move. Some Rockets fans complained that Van Jordan only had the basket and Sengong in his eyes and did not pass the ball to Smith Jr. In contrast, Harden's organizational ability is much better than Van Jordan. He will pass the ball to his teammates with better positions at the first time, rather than just turning two people.

Smith Jr. is willing to Harden return to the Rockets. Two years ago, Smith Jr. was asked about rumors that Harden might return to the Rockets in an interview with the US media. Smith Jr. said: Go home, he has done a lot for the city, and there are still many people in Houston who love him. If he comes back, he will definitely feel like home here.

But Uduka rejected Harden and chose Van Jordan. But obviously Van Jordan is not capable enough to lead the Rockets into the air.

Although Harden's performance in the playoffs was not very good, his regular season guarantee ability is still there and he is still good. Some Houston fans support Harden coming back to bring the young people and let Van Jordan leave.
