Nunn and Vincent were complained about by Lakers fans. The Heat also produced high-quality products, and Max Strus, who had an affair with the Rockets in the offseason, scored 26 points and 2 steals to help the remnant Cavaliers defeat the Bulls, and this time it was Mitchell's turn to be embarrassed.
Although the Bulls lost, it doesn't mean that LaVine has become more important to the team. Judging from recent times, the Bulls have played well without LaVine, giving hope for a playoff game.
It was previously reported that LaVine had attracted interest from multiple teams and that the Bulls were willing to discuss a trade.
A month ago, the American media revealed that the Houston Rockets had no interest in LaVine.
NBA Hall of Fame Mark Stern recently broke the news that the 76ers have no intention of trading back Mr. LaVine for 178 million.
Mark Stern said the 76ers want to trade for an offensive and defensive star, and LaVine doesn't fit the bill.
LaVine has four years and $178 million left on his contract, and the Bulls will have a hard time finding a pick-up.
LaVine was labeled a data brush, he didn't have the ability to lead the team, and he was still a draft template for Jalen Green.
From the current point of view, the Rockets Prince Green has no hope of top salary, his ball quotient and technology are not good, his shooting stability is poor, and he has fallen into a trough after entering December, averaging only 13.5 points per game, shooting 33.8% from the field, 26.7% from three-point range, and 2.6 turnovers per game. In the last game, Green only played 6 minutes in the third quarter and did not play in the fourth quarter, and the Rockets won on the road.
The Houston media posted the net efficiency values of the Rockets' starters and main benches, with Eason ranking first with 12.3 and Green at -0.2, which is really embarrassing. You must know that the 37-year-old Jeff Green's statistic is 4.6, and Green's performance is not as good as a veteran at the end of his career.
Jalen Green, who averaged 22.1 points per game last season, wants to be an All-Star and get a max contract with the Rockets, and now his dreams are shattered. Even LaVine is considered unworthy of the salary cap, and Fertitta will not offer Green a contract with the maximum salary.
Smith Jr. has also been discarded in the final quarter, but he is ashamed and courageous, and Green still can't find an answer to the problem.
Smith Jr. has scored 20 points in four of his last seven games, hitting 20+10 three times. Last season he shot 40.8 percent from the field, 30.7 percent from three-point range and 78.6 percent from the free throw line. This season, the three-point shooting percentage is 49.8%, 38.7% and 80.3%, respectively, which is a significant improvement.
It's not a good idea to add Green + Oladipo to LaVine, whose big contract is a big burden for the Rockets. It looks like Stone doesn't have any plans to make a big deal for the time being, and he wants to give Green some more time to prove himself.
Houston media have revealed that Stone is looking for a trade to get the No. 5 off the bench, and Landale has proven that he really can't do it. Before the Rockets led the Mavericks by a large score, Udoka gave Landale 15 minutes of playing time, and he came with a 1-of-5. Today, Landale and Green are the two people who have been complained about the most by Rockets fans.
The Rockets have played 27 games with a 15-12 record. Udoka said the Rockets will get better after 30 games. It was clear that Udoka wanted to win, and he had previously publicly raised the issue of the Rockets' interior defense, and some fans said he was saying it to Stone.
Some fans suggested sending Landale back to the Suns and posting a second-round pick in exchange for Gordon and Eubanks.
Stone has said that Houston's door is always open to Gordon, who has recently been unhappy with the drop in possession.
The 26-year-old 2.08-meter-tall Eubanks averaged 6.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 17 minutes per game this season, shooting 60% from the field.
