The Rockets' top priority this season is still to rebuild, although there are already many young talents in the lineup, but they need time to grow, and they can't help the team in the short term, so this season the Rockets will continue to be rotten, but they also need to actively clean up the veterans in the lineup, so as to make more opportunities for newcomers to perform, so far in the new season, Wood and Gordon are the best Rockets players, but they are not in the team's future lineup.
In recent days, according to US media reports, the Lone Rangers are very interested in getting Wood and Gordon two players, and are likely to provide the Rockets with a 4-for-2 deal plan, the specific content is that the Lone Rangers sent Porzingis, Moses Lang, the 2022 second-round draft picks and the 2025 first-round draft picks, in exchange for the Rockets' Gordon and Wood, it can be said that this deal plan is necessary for both teams.
First of all, for the Rockets, the team rebuild needs young players and draft picks, and the Lone Rangers' chips meet the needs of the Rockets, Moses Brown is a young center with great potential that is worth cultivating for the Rockets, and Porzingis is an all-Star interior lineman and is in the middle of the game, whether it is to stay or continue to trade, it is valuable, and the Rockets also get two draft picks, one of which is a first-round pick, which can help the Rockets rise rapidly in the future.
For the Lone Rangers, the team's goal in the new season is to go further, so it needs instant players, although to send Porzingis, but it is still worth it to exchange wood and Gordon, after all, Porzingis has suffered serious injuries and is not compatible with Doncic, and in exchange for Wood and Gordon can bring great improvement to the Lone Rangers at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Gordon and Wood are players with starting strength.
Gordon is good offensive and defensive, can both break through with the ball, but also can shoot from the outside, the defensive end can be defended from the first position to the third position, Wood's technical ability is comprehensive, the offensive end can be inside and outside, with an average of 20+ points per game, if this deal is reached, the Lone Rangers can form a five-man starter of Doncic, Hardaway Jr., Bullock, Wood and Dwight Powell, and the substitutes are Brunson, Gordon, Brown, Daffini Smith, Kleber and Big Boban, and this lineup is completely promising in the West.
