Recall that Rockets management has made it clear that Jaylen Green is the future of the team and cannot be used as a bargaining chip in a trade.
Unless there is a tempting chip that can completely impress Rockets management, then Jaylen Green can also be used as a bargaining chip for the trade. After all, the NBA is just a business, and if management can use Jaylen Green to trade for the team's championship-winning stars, I believe that the Rockets management will not hesitate to launch a trade plan. After all, nothing is more important than winning a championship.
Based on Jaylen Green's performance in these two seasons, many experts in the league believe that Jaylen Green has not shown his talent as he should. You must know that when he entered the league, his draft template was Kobe and Jordan, and it stands to reason that after one season of adaptation, Jaylen Green should have completely exploded in the second season and showed what a leader should be.
It's just that at present, Jaylen Green does not have enough desire to win in the game, on the other hand, the defensive attitude is loose, he has a talent, but his skills are constantly being squandered by him.
Many people attribute Jaylen Green's performance in the past two seasons to just a data brush, and even think that his final online template is just Zacravan, which is not unreasonable. Jaylen Green's current performance doesn't look like a top star.
In particular, the new head coach of the Rockets, Yuduka, also has a very sharp evaluation of Jaylen Green, believing that Jaylen Green as the core of a team, he has not played his due role, especially his loose attitude on the defensive end, dooming him to the ceiling will not be too high in the future.
Just recently, the Rockets negotiated a five-for-two deal with the Raptors, with the team going to send Jaylen Green, Tate, Christopher, the No. 4 pick in the first round this year, and a future first-round pick to bring Siakam and Anunoby from the Raptors.
I believe that once this transaction plan is finally realized, everyone will praise the Rockets management for this wise decision. In particular, Raptors general manager Ujeri finally achieved his wish this time. Not only did he get potential stocks like Jaylen Green, but he also got the first round pick of his heart, and the deal was a win-win.
The role of Siakam and Anunoby does not need to be repeated too much, the arrival of these two stars means that the team can quickly rise in the new season. Siakam, in particular, not only helped the Raptors win championships, but has been a core player for the team in recent seasons.
As for Anunoby's role, he is the top 3D player in the league, and his tough temperament is something that the current Rockets team lacks. Especially the Rockets currently lack a leader on the defensive end, and it is clear that Anunoby's arrival can perfectly take on this role.
The main point is that these two stars belong to the combination of attack and defense, which is very much in line with Yuduka's requirements. In Yuduka's coaching philosophy, he is very fond of players who have hard work on the defensive end. The Rockets traded a future potential stock for two quality top players, which is a great signing.
