Rockets make up the projection! US media shows the 30 team draft goals: Clippers find Harden s stand-in + Lakers trade insiders

Rockets reinforcement projection! With less than 20 days left before the 25-year draft, the US media "Open-Air Stand" showed off the draft goals of 30 teams in advance. The Clippers need to find a stand-in for Harden, while the Lakers should trade to fill the inside vacancy.

Warriors: Increase in size and projection

Pick: No. 41, the Warriors have no first-round picks for 25 years, only one second-round pick can be used.

Even if the 25th session is a recognized year of draft picks, it is difficult for the Warriors to expect to directly select one with a No. 41 pick to help the team's immediate combat effectiveness immediately. Especially in the context of the NCAA's execution of NIL, the possibility of the Warriors getting a bargain is slim.

The Warriors' demand is also very clear, adding the shooting endpoint and inside height to Curry and Butler. Compared with expecting the rookie to bet on the 41 pick to achieve its goal, it is obviously more reliable to sign first and then exchange Kumingga's deal with No. 41, such as winning Kobe White and Cameron Johnson.

Rockets: Supplementary projection points

picks: No. 10 and No. 59 draws

Rockets also have two clear shortcomings, namely the end point at critical moments and the outside three-point shooting. The former is difficult to solve through the draft, while the latter is possible.

The Rockets are ranked 20th in the league in three-point shooting this season and 21st in the league in three-point shooting. It is urgent to add more stable three-point finishing points to open up space to amplify the impact of Jaylen Green and Amen and other players.

Ideally, the trading + draft pick is used to increase the shooting reserves. According to "clutchpoints", the Nets are actively packaging Cameron Johnson with the No. 19 draw to seek an upward trade. The No. 10 draw in the hands of the Rockets is one of their goals.

Therefore, the Rockets can achieve a two-handed strategy through similar downward trading. On the one hand, they introduced Cameron Johnson, a three-pointer who has proven himself.

On the other hand, he also holds a first-round pick in the middle and back section, bet on a shooter in the draft, and can even continue to trade downward to exchange for more shooting and combat power.

Of course, the Rockets can also solve the problem of insufficient key ball ability through trades, such as packaging the No. 10 draw and introducing top scorers like Durant with some young players.

Clippers: Finding Harden's substitute

Pick: No. 30 + No. 51

It is very difficult to find a reliable substitute point guard through a No. 30 pick, but this is the direction the Clippers need to work hard on.

Clippers can certainly package two draft picks to introduce experience like Zhu Holiday to share the pressure on Harden in the future, but considering the age of Harden and Xiaoka and the two-year contract, the Clippers have to make an advance arrangement for the future.

Perhaps introducing veteran Paul through the free market and then winning a young point guard through the 30th pick will be a more comprehensive choice. According to the latest report by reporter Ary, Paul and the Clippers are interested in reuniting.

Lakers: Introducing the inside

pick: No. 55 signing

to send off Brother Davis and rejecting Ma Wei due to health problems, only Hayes and Ryan are available in the Lakers' inside. As a result, Redick abandoned two in the playoffs, and Hayes' contract expires this summer. The Lakers urgently need to strengthen the inside.

The Lakers not only need to introduce a starting level insider, but also convert Doncic and James' passes by eating cakes, but also need to introduce another 1-2 substitute insiders to solve the problem of rotation depth.

Therefore, in addition to strengthening through trading, the Lakers can fully implement the center and the undraft in Taobao's second round in the draft, which is the Lakers' specialty.

The remaining team goals worth paying attention to are as follows (the signing is in brackets)

1. Nets (8, 19, 26, 27, 36): Rebuild + introduce stars;

2. Mavericks (No. 1): Win Flag;

3. Thunder (15, 24, 44): Find the next Topic (high risk, high return option);

4.76ers (Tanhua lottery, 35): Find a player who meets the long-term plan;

5. Spurs (No. 1, 14 and 38): Pursuing Antetokounmpo or Durant.
