Previously, some American media said that the rocket rebuild may take at least 5 years, can Houston fans wait that long?
Obviously most fans don't have that much patience, and they hope the Rockets will return to the playoffs next season.
These three years have left Fertitta a lot less profit, and he has repeatedly expressed his hope to see the Rockets produce results next year and look forward to big moves this summer.
Houston Hall of Fagan said that Rockets management hopes to trade an All-Star who is not too old to be in his prime, and if there is a suitable target, Stone is willing to give away the quality chips he has accumulated.
A large number of Rockets fans are hoping that Stone will find a way to trade Jaylen Brown.
Is Jaylen Brown willing to leave the Green Army to join the Rockets?
He said in his latest interview: "I don't know if I'll leave, it's not up to me. Over time, we will see how the team feels about me and how I feel about the team. I personally would like to stay where I am needed and treated properly. I'm enjoying the time now, and if that carries over my entire career, that's great. If not, it's acceptable. Some great players don't all end up on one team, like Michael Jordan, who retired with the Wizards.
Brown is the team status and money that the Rockets can meet his requirements.
If the Rockets ask for Brown, the Greens will most likely ask for Jaylen Green and multiple future first-round picks. The Kings got All-Star center Sam Jr. and paid potential new star Halliburton, so the Rockets must pay a huge price to get Brown, and Jaylen Green is currently Houston's highest-ceiling and most valuable player.
So should the Rockets trade Brown with Jaylen Green plus multiple first-round picks?
Jaylen Brown, 26 years old, is 1.98 meters tall and has a 2.13 arm span, averages 26.7 points, 6.9 boards, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks per game this season, shooting 49% from the field, 34% from three-point range and 77.2% from the free throw line, and his contract expires at the end of next season and can be renewed early this summer.
Brown comes from the University of California, Berkeley, where basketball is not prominent, and this NBA player has only two career double-doubles, and the other has played for the Rockets, his name is Ryan Anderson.
Averaging only 6.6 points per game in the regular season in his rookie season, Brown has grown step by step and is now a two-time All-Star.
Jaylen Brown is indeed a good player, but Jaylen Green still has a lot of room to rise.
The Kings are expected to make the playoffs after getting Sa, but the team won't have too high a ceiling to compete for a championship. The 23-year-old Haliburton has become an All-Star guard and has shown cornerstone potential, and the Pacers are expected to make a name for themselves in the East.
Jaylen Green is only 21 years old, has scored 40+ points five times in his career, has improved significantly both offensively and defensively, and has shown a big heart attribute. According to US media statistics, Hugh Prince Jaylen Green surpassed Durant in true shooting percentage in key moments this season.
There is a standard for this crucial moment, with a difference of less than 3 points in the last 5 minutes of the game and at least 50 shots. At present, the first in the league is King's Sam, the second is Curry, the third is the Trail Blazers' Little West, the fourth is the Jazz Finnish driver Markkanen, and the fifth is the Rockets fans' hungry Haliburton. Sixth is Jaylen Green, who was once labeled a parallel trader, and seventh is Durant the Grim Reaper.
Rockets general manager Stone said the sky is Green's limit and is not for sale for the team. He said the Rockets' goal isn't just to make the playoffs, but to win a championship, and he doesn't want to make an operation he regrets in order to rush for results next season.
If the Rockets can trade Porter Jr., Sengon, Martin Jr. and Tetega for Brown in the first round, it will definitely be profitable, but the Green Army probably won't agree.
