On June 3, before the Finals started, there were endless rumors of trading in the NBA. With the emergence of a news, an All-Star player was added to the trading market. It is reported that the Knicks starter Towns submitted a deal application to the team and revealed that he was dissatisfied with a player's long-term ball-holding style, which clearly implied the core Brunson.

After being traded this season, Towns played the best season of his career, averaging 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1 steal per game, and his shooting percentage was excellent in all aspects. In the playoffs, he also swept away the "soft" situation that was criticized in the early stages and played very tough when facing greater defensive intensity; his scores in all six games of the Eastern Conference Finals exceeded 20+, becoming the team's most stable scorer.

The Knicks were able to make a thriving all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, which is closely related to Towns' performance, but his ball rights and shots on the court are not high, and most of the time the ball rights are in the hands of Brunson; even if Brunson is double-teamed or the ball rights are reduced, the second ball rights choice is more in the hands of Hart and Bridges, and Towns has few opportunities to dominate the ball, which may be the main reason for his dissatisfaction.

29-year-old Towns is in his year of playing. As an All-Star All-Star insider with an ability, there are naturally many suitors. The Houston Rockets, who are determined to strengthen, can consider restructuring the inside. After all, in this year's playoffs, the starting center Shin Kyung faces the Warriors who are not strong inside. Although the data is acceptable, the shooting percentage and shortcomings are also exposed very clearly.

It is reported that Rockets Management does not intend to renew Adams and Jeff Green. If young players such as Smith Jr. and Ethan are left as trading chips, the team's fourth and fifth positions will face great challenges. Towns' joining can perfectly solve this dilemma. His comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end is exactly what the Rockets lack. Compared with Brunson, VanVleet focuses more on passing and connecting teammates instead of independent attacks. Other Rocket players do not "stick to the ball". Towns' right to obtain the ball on the court will greatly improve.

Whether Towns can be traded to the team he likes this summer, and whether the Rockets can win the All-Star-level ready-to-match star, let us look forward to it!
