At present, the most active team in the NBA trading market is the Rockets, and even the unloved Wei Shao, they can accept it, and they have to say that the Rockets have been mad in order to rebuild. According to the US media "Open Air Stand" report, the Rockets seek to send away DJ Augustine, Theis and Nuwaba, these three players are no longer in the Rockets' rebuilding plan, it is expected to be sent away, and these three players have a lot of role in some teams that impact the playoffs or compete for the championship.
Among them, Theis and Augustine should be more concerned players, Theis has been adrift since leaving the Celtics, this season he averaged 8.4 points and 5 rebounds per game, is still a relatively high-quality center, mainly the contract is not very large, only more than 8 million, he is still a lot of help for some teams aiming to impact the playoffs.
Augustine, a veteran who has been in the NBA for 14 seasons, is a rookie with Durant, this season the veteran can also get 5.5 points and 2.2 assists, three-point shooting rate of 41.5%, but his contract is relatively large, which is certainly not the first choice for some teams with more space, the Rockets traded these three mainly to save money, after all, the tone of their season has been determined, it is impossible to spend more money to raise these veterans.
Of course, the most popular in the Rockets lineup is definitely Gordon, whose ability is what many championship teams want. The reporter also recently interviewed Gordon after the end of training, and he did not worry about the transaction at all, after all, the Rockets also needed veterans like him to help newcomers grow at this stage. Does that mean the Rockets won't send Gordon away without getting a proper first-round pick?
Gordon is very efficient this season, averaging 14.8 points and 3.2 assists in less than 30 minutes of playing time per game, and the three-point shooting rate has reached 45.2%, which should be the reason why the championship team is scrambling for him.
Of course, the Rockets also have a guard waiting for a trade that is Wall, according to the US media reports, Wall's market prospects are not as bad as imagined, there are already 3 teams interested in Wall, the Rockets have never given up on Wall's trade, but the Rockets want to earn what chips in Wall should be very difficult things, can successfully release their salary space is already a very good thing, in addition to Wall, such as Porter Jr., Wood and other people have always had teams to ask for prices, and the Rockets are not in a hurry now, After all, trading Wall could cost them some price to come back.
