Rockets and Suns brew a three-way deal! Clarkson assisted Paul, the top scorer to help Green?
Recently, the US media "Hoopshype" selected the 10 most tradeable big forwards in the NBA League in the new season, the alphabet brother ranked first, and the 2021 Tanhua Evan Mobley forced the "Fat Tiger" tin to arrange the second place, I don't know if the Rockets management will regret missing the attack and defense of Mobley. Thick Eyebrows are in fourth place, three of the 2022 rookies are on the list, Bancello is sixth, and although the season is reimbursed, Homegren is still eighth, and Rockets Detective Jabari Smith is in tenth. The main reason why Jabari Smith ranked behind Bancello and Homegren was that he did not play well in the summer league, especially in the direct confrontation with the above two players, which also made Smith push off all activities and concentrate on special training in Houston, vowing to prove his worth in the new season.
Rockets head coach Silas has promised Jabari Smith in an interview that he will be the team's starting big forward in the new season, which is an opportunity that Tarry Ethan can't hope for, although he plays significantly better than Smith in the summer league, but the Rockets management obviously values talent more, just as Shinkin performed significantly better than Jaylen Green in the training camp last season, green is still the starter after the start of the new season, and Shinkin can only start from the bench. Half a season later, Jaylen Green also proved Stone's vision with a brilliant performance, and also blocked the mouths of doubters.
With the exception of Gordon, the Rockets lack a top-level shooter in their current roster, and with Gordon now 33 years old, the Rockets clearly can't expect him to storm the line anymore. Recently, according to the Phoenix local media "Arizona Republic" revealed that the three teams of the Suns, Rockets, and Jazz are negotiating a tripartite deal offer, and the specific deal plan is:
1. The Suns sent Randry Shamet + Cameron Johnson to Get Jordan Clarkson;
2. The Rockets sent Kenyan Jr. + Boban-Majanovic + 2024 second-round pick (Nets) to Comeron Johnson;
3. The Jazz sent Jordan Clarkson to land Landry Shamet + Boban Majanovic + 2024 second-round pick (Nets).
The Suns were eliminated by the Lone Rangers in the Western Conference Semifinals last season, especially in the seventh life-and-death game, when Lone Ranger head coach Kidd developed a very targeted tactic against Paul and Booker. On the offensive end, the Lone Rangers resolutely adopt singles tactics against Paul, depleting his physical strength; On the defensive end, it was a crazy bag for Booker, which forced him to pass the ball to his teammates. When Paul was exhausted and Booker was exhausted, no one on the Suns was able to stand up and score, which was the main reason for their eventual defeat. Clarkson's ability to score independently is exactly what he is good at, he has incredible staying power and concentration and super scoring ability, as long as he plays a role, averaging 17.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists last season, shooting 37.5% from three-point range. For the Suns, he is a stronger player than Cameron Johnson and Shamet, and if the Suns had a player like Clarkson in the game against the Lone Rangers, perhaps the result would have been very different.
Cameron Johnson, who is 2.03 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.10 meters, weighs 95 kilograms, plays as a small forward, and averaged 26.2 minutes per game last season, contributing 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists, and shooting 42.5% from three-point range. He is a trusted outside shooter, extremely stable in both receiving jump shots and stopping jump shots after dribbling, and adept at scoring with cover and conversions. He and Ethan are two different styles of players, Johnson is focused on offense, Ethan is good at defense, and after adding these two players, the Rockets' tactical system will be greatly enriched.
