The Nets this season have really disappointed us, like the Lakers, comparable to the Crouching Dragon Phoenix, the team has too many problems and prominent contradictions, although as the seventh in the East to enter the playoffs, but in the first round of the series has been 0:3 behind the Celtics.
Even with superstars of Durant and Irving's level, the Nets are still in a desperate situation, facing the embarrassment of being swept in the first round, it is certain that the Nets must have a lot of trading moves in the offseason, otherwise this team will still disappoint fans, in this context, all kinds of trade rumors began to fly.
Recently, according to the US media "NetsDaily", nets general manager Sean Max began to put the transaction target on the Rockets' Wood and Gordon players, and is discussing the relevant transaction details with the Rockets, the specific plan is: the Nets sent Joe Harris + Nicholas Clarkston + 2022 first-round picks, and got the Rockets' Wood, Eric Gordon and Ken Young Martin Jr.
So how do you evaluate the deal?
The Nets' attempt to change Wood was clearly not sincere enough
As can be seen from the offer given by the Nets, the most valuable is Joe Harris, as a well-known marksman in the league, once won the three-point championship, is the favorite object of many teams, but one thing to note is that Joha was seriously injured after all, suffered an injury in November last year, and has not been able to come back until now, how much transaction value does he have at the age of 30?
Secondly, although Clarkston's physical fitness is indeed very good, only 23 years old, but far from Wood's deterrent on the inside, has not yet fully played out, as a lost draft, he can stay on the basketball website, in addition to the passion of the game, but also because the Nets really have no one available, even if it is a first-round pick, personally believe that such a deal offer is obviously not able to impress the Rockets.
The Rockets were able to solve the problem of congestion on the defender line
As we all know, although the Rockets are ranked first in the league this season, there are actually many talented players in the team, especially in the guard line, there are Jaylen Green, Porter Jr., Matthews, Martin Jr. and Christopher Jr., as well as veterans who have played for many years, Gordon and Schroder, which are very crowded, so it is imperative to trade in the offseason.
The Rockets want to optimize the team's guard structure through trades, not only that, as a rebuilding team, it is clear that Jaylen Green is a stable core of the team, the rest of the teams may be on the shelves, Wood is a pity, but if the Nets add some chips, the Rockets may be moved, after all, a sharpshooter like Joha wants everyone, and Gordon and Martin Jr. will not make the Rockets feel painful.
If the deal is reached, will the Big Four of Durant+ Irving + Wood + Simmons bring the Nets back into the title race?
Personally, I think the Nets will become a big favorite to win the championship, first of all, this season fully proves that Durant Irving and the two are not enough to help the team compete for the championship, that is, the level of the playoff team, although Simmons can not come back, but it is certain that he can make the Nets' defense that has always been weak Have a qualitative leap, after all, 5 times selected for defense is not just talk.
Now that the interior killer Wood has been introduced, the internal problem can also be well solved, the Nets can put out these four people plus Curry Jr. or Brown's starting lineup, such a configuration is no less than any team in the league, quite competitive, Durant Irving can also get the greatest release, do not have to play so tired every game, the overall strength of the Nets is bound to be significantly improved.
Overall, the Nets and the Rockets discussed this 3-for-3 deal plan, the Nets are obviously making a lot of money, Durant + Irving + Wood + Simmons of the big four people are infinitely expected, but want to impress the Rockets, obviously will have to pay more chips, the Rockets are also willing to solve the problem of guard line congestion through the trade, what do you think about this?
