Rockets received an A+ rating! After the Magic won Bain and fired the first shot in the trading market, the US media clutchpoints also commented on a 7-for-2 trading plan based on the needs of Houston, believing that the Rockets' package of Shen Jing Baimo + 3 first round of Antetokounmpo will be a full mark.

The trading market was in chaos

Before the finals were over, the Magic took the lead in firing the first shot in the trading market, packing four first-round picks, plus a first-round swap to win Bain from the Grizzlies.

This big deal is not only the beginning of a huge market change this summer, but will also be a microcosm of a historical offseason, as teams have just experienced a historical level trading deadline in the middle of this season.

Doncic's sudden delivery to the Lakers means that the NBA has re-entered the era dominated by the boss. In addition, the two young teams, the Thunder and the Pacers, met in the Finals, and confirmed that the NBA championships in the past seven years are different, allowing more teams to see hope for the championship.

Rockets are one of the biggest buyers

The Rockets are naturally one of them. With Harden's bad performance and reconstruction after leaving the team and the creation of the team's culture and defensive system after Uduka took over, the Rockets are becoming a reasonable championship-level team and will also be one of the biggest buyers this summer.

The Rockets not only have many of their future first-round picks, but also have a large number of swap rights and 3 Suns' future first-round picks, including this year's No. 10, plus a number of talented new stars such as Shin Kyung, Green, and Amen.

Therefore, the Rockets have always been regarded as one of the popular next homes between Durant and Antetokounmpo, but the Rockets' desire for the two is obviously different. Durant is being sold by the Suns, but the Rockets are not keen on pursuing him. According to team reporter Kelly Iko, the Rockets have provided an offer to the Suns, but the latter is disappointed.

Because the Rockets are unwilling to pay too much chips for Durant, they just want to match his salary, such as Dillon + a player with partial balanced salary. Reports like

also conform to the statement of another American reporter Evan Sidery, who is unwilling to send Ethan and Jabbarry Smith Jr. in the pursuit of Durant.

Even Jaylen Green and the Rockets were hesitant, even the Suns didn't want to get Green because of their adaptability.

US media sends 7 for 2 transaction plan

In this case, US media ESPN also gave the Rockets another transaction plan to pursue Antetokounmpo. It is currently rumored that he will stay in the Bucks, but there are also voices saying that he is waiting for the operations of each team before making a decision, and everything is possible.

The potential trading plan is as follows

Rockets get: Antetokounmpo + Connaughton;

Bucks get: Shin Kyung + White Devil + Shepard + Randale + 25 first round (No. 10 pick) + 27 Suns first round + 28 first round.

Rockets: A+ Score

There is no doubt that for the Rockets, this is a perfect trading plan. The fundamental reason why Houston is unwilling to introduce Durant is because he is worried about his age and injuries. Antetokounmpo has no worries about this at all.

Antesco has proved that he has long been a stable 30+ scorer. Even if the space attributes are insufficient, his scoring ability is still trustworthy and will become the absolute core of the Rockets.

The top conversion scoring ability he brought perfectly matches this Rockets that emphasizes defensive conversion. Most importantly, the Rockets did not give out too many chips in this deal. Even if they gave out Shen Jing, the deal was worthy of A+ score. After all, they won the top three active Antetokounmpo and still have the ability to continue to build a championship lineup around him.

Bucks: C+

The Bucks only received C+ scores, and the reason is also very simple. Referring to the Magic to get Bain's trade, the Bucks should get more rewards in the Antetokounmpo trade.

If the Bucks are really willing to send Antetokounmpo away, or the latter is determined to leave, I believe the Rockets will be willing to give him more chips.
