The Rockets exchanged Ethan for Grimes should be a win-win situation

The Rockets have been delayed in renewing their contract with Ethan, and there must be a problem. It is better to trade Grimes with Philadelphia.

According to sources, the Rockets did not renew their contract with Ethan, which was mainly because of the crowded front line and Ethan's physical condition, so Stone was very cautious. Will he give a long contract? How big is the contract? All need to be carefully evaluated.

Grimes was not satisfied with the 76ers. She wanted a contract with an annual salary of more than $30 million. Philadelphia has been reluctant to nod, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

In this case, the Rockets should trade with Philadelphia. Ethan and Grimes swap can open up the situation and let each find a more suitable destination.

The Rockets have a crowded front line, but the back line is weak, especially the shooting guard. After the trade to Jaylen Green, the starting point guard became a vacuum. Durant is indeed competent, but he is not a pure point guard. He will inevitably feel awkward when playing. If Grimes is replaced, the situation will be very different.

Grimes is a shooting guard and performed wildly in the second half of last season. In his last 20 games, he averaged more than 30 data per game, making him a perfect All-Star performance.

Ethan went to Philadelphia and could replace George, who had been injured all year round, as the starting power forward. This can be regarded as finding a place where he could not be better. After all, staying in the Rockets is also a substitute.
