Before the trade deadline this season, the Rockets will definitely be one of the very active sellers in the trading market.
Currently, the rockets have all players who are likely to be traded are Augustine, Theis, Gordon and Wall.
The common feature of these players is relatively old, of which Augustine, Gordon and Wall are all over 30 years old, while Theis is about to turn 30, and the Rockets have been basically determined since last season, especially when Harden was traded, the Rockets' rebuilding ideas have become more thorough.
Wall due to this year's offseason, and the Rockets reached a non-play agreement, this season the high probability will not represent the Rockets to play, Wall as long as not play, basically no transaction value, as a rebuilding team, hope that the Rockets upside down asset trading Wall, is a very unrealistic thing, Wall's final result is very likely to be cut by the Rockets in the contract year or reach a buyout with the Rockets, start looking for a new owner again, The probability of Wall being traded is not large.
Augustine was traded by the team, mainly Augustine's status in the team fell sharply, this season once fell out of the rotation, in the case of Tate, Gordon and Porter Jr. can organize the attack, Augustine's role has dropped significantly, coupled with poor confrontation ability, poor defense, not in the team's future planning, being traded by the team is sooner or later.
Theiss was traded by the team, mainly because Theis positioning of the team was very embarrassing, during the 15-game losing streak, Theis proved that he was incompatible with the team, when the starter Theis was taken down, the Rockets' offensive efficiency was greatly improved, the Theis was unlikely to squeeze Shen Jing's playing time, in the case of Wood's unworthy, Theis did not have the ability to attack independently, and it became inevitable to be traded by the team.
In the near term, the first player who is likely to be traded by the Rockets is not the above three, but Eric Gordon.
On the one hand, Gordon is the best performer of these players and the best player this season, on the other hand, Gordon's statistics are also the best, and Gordon's offensive efficiency this season is a new career high.
Judging from many recent data, Gordon's departure is very good.
From the Rockets 7 consecutive wins, Gordon has an average of 12.1 shots, in the case of Green and Porter's truce due to injury, Gordon has taken on the task of the main attack, in the current Rockets team, the most offensive grasp is Gordon, many times in the final stage, basically Gordon handles the ball and dominates the ball.
Since the Rockets' victory over the Hawks, Gordon has deliberately reduced his number of shots, and in the last 7 games, Gordon's average number of shots per game has been 7.5, which has lowered the average number of shots this season, and the average number of shots this season has been reduced to 10.4, which shows that Gordon is reducing his offensive desire on the offensive end.
In the Rockets' loss to the Lakers, the embodiment is the most obvious, the whole game Gordon shot 6 times, hit 5 goals, three points 2 shots 2, the most stable scoring points on the offensive end of the team, the number of shots is the lowest in the team is very telling.
In the Rockets' recent 5-game losing streak, Gordon's presence on the offensive end is not strong, and when Green and Porter do not return, Gordon gives more to Wood and Tate on the ball end, and Gordon seems to realize that he is not far from the trade, protecting himself to reduce the probability of injury.
In previous reports by American reporters, the Rockets could be traded except for Jaylen Green, and the rockets tested the value of Wood's trade.
Due to health prevention and control regulations, many of the team's important players are quarantined, resulting in the signing of a large number of players with 10-day short contracts, coupled with injury factors, prompting some teams that hope to make a difference this year, hoping to impact the playoffs, and even the championship, from this point of view, Gordon has proved that he can play a hard battle, in the high-end game, Gordon's value is huge, as the team's second or even third main attacker is more than enough, from the current point of view, Gordon is most likely to be traded before the trade deadline of this season, Now Gordon is in an extremely efficient situation, reducing the desire to shoot and reducing the frequency of attacking the frame is the best witness.
