Rockets and Cavaliers are planning to trade 5 for 1? Garland is parachuted to Houston?

NBA officially announced the 24-25th season's All-Rookie Team. The Rockets' Tetrava Shepard's name is not related to the Rockets' Tenhua lineup, which is directly related to the formation of head coach Uduka. There is no doubt that Uduka is an excellent head coach. In his second season as coaching the Rockets, he led the team to second place in the Western Conference, but Uduka's shortcomings are also outstanding. He is stubborn in the coaching process and is not good at cultivating newcomers. The talented Whitmore conflicted with Uduka because he could not get playing time, and Shepard also failed to get too many opportunities to perform because of his thin body. The best in training new players is Thunder coach Dagent. Jaylen Williams, Homegren, Josh Kiddy and Wallace have all gained a foothold in the league. The Rockets Shepard still has a long way to go.

Recently, US media clutchpoints suggested that the Rockets management pursues the Cavaliers starting point guard Garland during the offseason this summer. He was not happy in Cleveland because of his overlap with Donovan Mitchell. Garland's playing time is limited, his tactical positioning is not clear enough, and the data is showing a downward trend. In addition, the Cavaliers were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs, so the management intends to send Garland away to supplement the strength of other positions, thereby achieving the goal of balancing the lineup. The media provided a 5-for-1 trading offer to the Rockets and Cavaliers. If the negotiations go smoothly, defensive player Dillon will join hands with high-quality 3D Jabbarri Jr. to Cleveland. The specific trading plan is: The Rockets send Dillon Brooks + Jabbarri Jr. Smith + Jock Landale + the 2028 Rockets' first round pick + the 2027 first round pick swap rights to Darius Garland.

Garland is the fifth rookie in 2019, with a height of only 1.85 meters, an wingspan of 1.95 meters and a weight of 78 kg. Despite his top ball control skills and excellent mid- and long-distance shooting ability, he was too mediocre and poor physical condition, so he ultimately failed to gain an advantage in the competition with Zion and Morant. But Garland did not sink into this. He not only helped the Cavaliers win the first place in the Eastern Conference, but also successfully selected into the All-Star lineup. Let the Knicks who chose RJ Barrett and the Hawks who chose DeAndre Hunter regret it. With his career average of 18.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals, he finally got a five-year, $197 million maximum salary contract.

The Rockets already have three point guards, VanVleet, Shepard, and Holiday Jr., so will they still need Garland? The answer is yes! Van Jordan's contract renewal negotiations with the Rockets have not made any progress. Holiday Jordan's defense is poor, Shepard has not really grown up yet. Garland is 25 years old and is at the peak of his career. He has proved his strength in the Cavaliers. The Rockets management has reason to believe that Garland can replace the role of the above three players. Even if VanVleet eventually stayed in the team, Garland had the experience of partnering with Mitchell in the backcourt, so he was not unfamiliar with the position of being a shooting guard. For the Cavaliers, it is difficult for them to continue their current lineup to attack the NBA championship again. General Manager Altman has no salary space, so he can only hope to improve the lineup through the transaction. Dillon was able to contribute to the Cavaliers from the defensive end, and Jabbarri's role was more reflected in opening space and competing for rebounds. As a space-type insider that conforms to the characteristics of the small ball era, he has the ability to gain a place in any team.
