Last season, the Rockets were in a bad state, with a record of only 22 wins and 60 losses. Although they failed to win the top draft and missed a potential rookie, Wenbanyama, they successfully signed Canadian defender Amen Thompson. At the same time, the Rockets also experienced a change of head coach and a series of signings during the offseason to reshape the team’s strength and culture. At present, the starting lineup of the Rockets has surfaced, and fans are full of expectations for the performance of the new season.
However, before the start of the game, the team must solve the problem of Porter Jr. Recently, Porter Jr. was arrested and prosecuted for domestic violence. According to Shams, the Rockets have contacted many teams and are willing to pay the compensation for the draft selection to send Porter away. In view of this situation, according to NBA Analysis, the two teams, the Rockets and the Lone Ranger, are discussing a 4-for-1 transaction quotation to start negotiations. Let’s take a look at the specific situation of this transaction.
The rocket sent out little Kevin Potter+the second round of the rocket in 2024+the second round of the Nets in 2024+the second round of the Thunder in 2025; Get Tiny Tim Hardaway.
For the Rockets, this transaction is not a loss to the team in the long run. After all, Porter Jr. can’t be the core player of the team, and there are many loopholes. Now it is undoubtedly the best result to leave the team through this matter. So how is this transaction for the team? Hardaway Jr. is 31 years old, 1.96 meters tall and 2.07 meters wingspan. He belongs to a soft-touch sports defender and shoots well in the middle distance. It is him who uses the stop jumper after the pick-and-roll cooperation. At the same time, he is also an excellent passer, with solid defensive skills, averaging 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and shooting 38% from three-pointers. If he comes, it will be a very good supplement for the team.
For the lone ranger, Hardaway Jr. is struggling to survive between Dancsics and Owen, and his big contract of up to $34 million in the next two years will limit the reinforcement work of the lone ranger. Now, leaving the team can achieve the effect of multiple goals, so what about the players? First of all, Kevin Porter Jr. is a very powerful and young player, scoring 17.2 points +5.3 nets +5.7 assists in the season.
To sum up, this deal is very good for both teams, so whether it can be finally reached is welcome to discuss in the comment area!
