Ethan's exclusive cover is controversial! Rockets, Grizzlies brewing a 1-for-2 trade, Tillman assisted Green?
Recently, the Rockets' official website announced the team's preseason schedule for the new season, and Silas's team will first play two games at the home Toyota Center Arena, which is against the Spurs on October 3 and against the Raptors on October 8. This was followed by two consecutive road trips, the Miami Challenge heat on Oct. 11 and the Anna Challenge Pacers in Indonesia on Oct. 15. It was a mediocre announcement, but it sparked a lot of controversy among Rockets fans because the poster used Tarry Ethan as the cover instead of Jabari Smith.
Jabari Smith is a talent for the 2022 draft, although he did not play well in the summer league, he is only 19 years old (Ethan is 21 years old), one of the highest ceiling players in this rookie, has a huge room for growth, whether in terms of static talent, technical comprehensiveness, future development potential and other aspects to better Than Ethan. Missing out on the title has made him very depressed, and the poor summer league performance has put him under a lot of psychological pressure, and rocket fans feel that at least they should put both of them on the cover at the same time, so as not to make Smith too embarrassed, but also to inject more confidence into the youngster before the start of the new season.
Recently, there is a rumor about the Rockets trade has attracted a lot of attention from Rockets fans, according to Grizzlies reporter Ronald Fauci Tillery revealed that the Grizzlies have a strong interest in the Rockets' Martin Jr., head coach Jenkins appreciates his athleticism and positive playing attitude, for which the Grizzlies have provided the Rockets management with a 2-for-1 deal offer, if the negotiations go well, the deal is expected to be reached in the near future, The specific deal plan is: The Grizzlies sent Xavier Tillman + 2023 second-round pick to get the Rockets' Kenjan Martin Jr.
Tall at 2.06 meters, with an arm span of 2.16 meters and a weight of 111 kilograms, Tillman is 23 years old and plays as a big forward/center forward, he and Martin Jr. are in the second round of the 2020 show, and the pick is 17 places higher than Martin Jr. He played in 53 games for the Grizzlies last season, averaging 4.8 points, 3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 45.4 percent from the field. He is a tough short inside lineman with good strategy skills, good at using empty cuts and baskets to complete the score, and can also create damage through interior attacks and shots. On the defensive end, he is good at assisting the defense to make up for the position, has strong prejudgment ability, and sometimes the data is average but the effect is obvious. Although Tillman lacks Martin Jr.'s athletic talent, he is a good team player, with the same annual salary as Martin Jr., good value for money, and can serve as a substitute for Both Shin Kyung and Smith.
The Grizzlies have a duo of Morant and Bain in the backcourt, the small forward position has Brooks and Zaire Williams two tough players, the center is with the double insurance of Jalan Jackson Jr. and Adams, but the strength in the big forward position is slightly thin, only Clark is struggling to support, and Clark's role is more reflected in the defensive end, his offensive ability is very general, so the Grizzlies are eager to strengthen the strength of this position. Martin Jr. was extremely efficient on the court last season, averaging 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in 20 minutes per game, shooting 54% from the field, and his addition can strengthen the depth of the Grizzlies' roster.
