Eason, who was reimbursed for the season after the Rockets defeated the Thunder in March, couldn't wait to shout: Warriors, come and touch us.
However, the Rockets did not win a game after entering April, and Ethan was also ridiculed by the group.
Jalen Green gave Rockets fans hope after three crazy March, but the crazy pattern didn't carry over into April. For Jalen Green, this April is black.
The Rockets have had back-to-back Warriors and Heat, and Udoka wants to prove that they're not just going to abuse vegetables.
However, both the Warriors and the Heat, who have tough defense and a lot of playoff experience, are also suffering from the Rockets. The Warriors are on a 13-game winning streak against the Rockets, while the Heat are on an eight-game winning streak.
Lacking Sengun, an inside offensive weapon, Udoka can only count on Jalen Green to break the game, but it is obviously still too difficult for him.
Green scored just 13 points against the Warriors, 4-of-12 from the field and had four turnovers, while he scored 21 points against the Heat, 6-of-18 from the field and had three turnovers.
Hoopshabit published an article on April 4 local time to suggest a trade for the Rockets.
The American outlet says the Nets will now regret not trading Bridges for Jalen Green plus multiple first-round picks. If the Rockets are willing to reopen trade talks after the season, send Jalen Green, and return multiple first-round picks, the Nets should nod their heads in agreement.
The trade package offered by HoopsHabit is: The Nets send Mikal Bridges to the Rockets for Jalen Green, Jock Landale, a 2024 Nets first-round pick, a 2025 Nets first-round pick swap, and a 2026 Nets first-round pick.
For now, the Rockets won't agree to this 1-for-5 deal.
Rockets general manager Stone has made his attitude clear, and he was interviewed ahead of the game against the Warriors: I'm really happy for Jalen Green, he's put in the effort and is starting to really see results. He's helping the team, there's a lot of trust in him and it's a virtuous cycle. He was still putting in all the hard work when he was under pressure and in a difficult situation in the past. He's been fighting and making no excuses. For Jalen Green, this is not the end of the development process. He still has a lot of room to grow, and he knows that. I'm glad he's getting so many positive rewards now.
Even though Jalen Green hasn't played well this month, the Rockets still want to keep him.
Bridges didn't play a few good games in March and is still in poor form heading into April, with the Nets missing out on the playoffs in their previous three games on 5-of-16, 7-of-17 and 6-of-13. You must know that the competitive pressure in the East is far less than that in the West, Bridges's ability to lead the team is really not good, although he has projection and defense, but he lacks Jalen Green's athleticism and scoring explosiveness, and his commercial value is relatively low.
Apparently Bridges doesn't deserve so much leverage from the Rockets. Some fans bluntly said that the Rockets lost one for one.
NBA reporter Brett Siegel broke the news in the game against the Heat that the Rockets still have confidence in Jalen Green, believe in his ability, and expect him to be an All-Star caliber player.
Chandler Parsons, a former Rockets titan who left the top spot in Houston, recently talked about his old club on the show, saying: "When the season ends they will look back at the previous 11 consecutive wins and see what was done right, they played fast, and they had Jalen Green at the core. You see that Green doesn't have good stats when Sengun is on the floor, and he has good stats when Sengun isn't on the floor. The Rockets are going to find a way to get Jalen Green and Sengun together, and I believe the Rockets will make the playoffs next season.
The Magic are currently fourth in the East and the Thunder are currently third in the West. Some American media believe that the Rockets are also a promising team in the future.
