On July 22, Alperen Shenjing personally revealed that his agent is still communicating with the Rockets about the early renewal of his contract, and Rafael Stone has not given him any commitment to renewing his contract, and he is even looking forward to leaving Chicago next summer, and he is confident that he can get 180 million to 200 million for four years next summer.
On July 27, Beijing time, ESPN reporters Tim McMahon and Zach Lowe revealed in a podcast: 1. The Rockets are one of the teams interested in Lauri Markkanen, and the Rockets will not trade him immediately and are waiting to see what happens;
2. When there is a rumor in the market about Shin Kyung being traded, even though I don't know if he is really tradable, there are indeed some teams that are very, very interested and want to participate in the bidding;
3. I don't think Shin Kyung and Jalen Green can stay with the Rockets, and I even think it will be difficult for the eight young talents selected by the Rockets to stay in Houston for a long time.
The superposition of these three pieces of news has made Shen Jing fall into trade rumors again, because he has not yet reached an early contract extension with the Rockets, and if the Rockets want Markkanen, then Shen Jing may really become a bargaining chip.
Some people think that if Jalen Green + draft picks are exchanged for Marca, then there will be problems with the rotation of Shen Jing, Marca, Smith, and Ethan, so there is a high probability that Shen Jing will be reduced to a trade chip.
Rest media Will wrote: If Shin Kyung was selected as an All-Star in the East last season, as long as he stays healthy this year, he will definitely enter the All-Star, and he will be stronger every summer. He developed a small toss last season, a Golden Rooster independence, and next season he will definitely have new tricks, and he's becoming more and more difficult to defend, and he reminds me of Harden at the peak.
In order to temper Shen Jing, the Rockets arranged three physical trainers to go to Istanbul to train with Shen Jing, and the physical coaches arranged 5-6 high-intensity training programs for Shen Jing every week, including physical fitness, basketball, physiotherapy (diet, physical load management, massage, cupping, acupuncture).
Shen Jing has just passed his 22nd birthday, and his career data has been improving in three seasons, with new highs in points, rebounds, and assists last season, if he is not injured, there is a high probability that he can complete 22+10+5 data, so the inside rocket is willing to trade?
