On May 21, according to NBA reporter Sam Amick, the Rockets are looking forward to winning the top 10 stars in the league this summer. Especially after the breakup between Antetokounmpo and the Bucks has entered the countdown, the Rockets have given up their original plans. Sam Amick said that the Rockets are willing to trade the All-Star center Shin Kyung and get the Bucks Antetokounmpo. This news is not groundless, but expresses the Rockets' attitude. Recently, Bucks general manager Jon Horst said that although the team will respect Antetokounmpo's personal wishes, it will not suffer in the deal to send him away. The general managers of multiple teams believe that Antetokounmpo joining the Rockets is just a matter of time. The Rockets not only have many young players, but also have many very valuable first-round picks. Moreover, the Rockets are looking forward to seeing the combination of Antetokounmpo + Amen Thompson. Of course, this pair of pair is not the final version of the Rockets, and Stone will also configure the shooter group for this pair this summer. It is reported that Amen Thompson, Jaylen Green, Reed Shepard, and Jabbarry Smith are currently non-sale products from the Rockets. In addition to Amen Thompson, the other three players' shooting ability is what the Rockets need very much at the moment.

NBA salary expert Bobby Mark also analyzed the possibility that the Rockets will continue to pursue Durant. This season, Durant's shooting percentage is as high as 54.1% and his three-point shooting percentage is 43.2%. These two data are very attractive to Rockets head coach Uduka. After the Rockets execute VanVleet's contract, they can match the first rounds of the Suns in 2027 and 2029 and get Durant. With the active trading market, Suns management's asking price for Durant is not as high as before. Bobby Mark said that if the Rockets get both Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant this summer, he won't be surprised.
