The Rockets 10th pick has the latest choice! Average of 26+6 guards has become the best choice!

Rockets 10 draw a shocking deal! Maxi joins Houston and strives for the championship?

In the just-concluded passionate and slightly regretful season, the Rockets successfully entered the playoffs with an excellent regular season record of 52 wins and 30 losses, and finally fought seven games with the Golden State Warriors in the first round, and they were still honored even if they lost. But this also made the team management realize that in order to truly strive for the championship, the lineup still needs to be further optimized and upgraded. As the 2025 NBA Draft is approaching, the Rockets, who hold the No. 10 pick, have a strong lineup depth, and it is difficult to guarantee the playing time of the rookie, which makes the direction of the No. 10 pick full of suspense.

According to famous reporter Kevin O'Connor, the Rockets are exploring a variety of trading plans involving the No. 10 picks in the 2025 NBA Draft, among which the trading plan for Maxi with the 76ers has attracted widespread attention. The 3-for-1 transaction plan proposed by the US media is specifically: the Rockets send Jaylen Green, Cameron Whitmore and the 2025 Suns first round pick, and gets Tyres Maxi of the 76ers.

Maxi, the 76ers' double-seater guard, is a sharp offensive blade on the court. This season he averaged 26 points and 6 rebounds per game. He has a variety of offensive methods and is extremely fast when breaking through. With his strong body and excellent explosive power, he can easily tear open the opponent's defense line and finish the end at the basket. He should not be underestimated outside the three-point line, and has stable three-point shooting ability, so that the opponent dare not easily make a shot at him. His passing vision is also relatively broad. When the offense is blocked, he can pass the ball to his teammates with better position in time to revitalize the team's offense.

For the Rockets, Jaylen Green's performance in the playoffs this season was not stable and failed to fully carry the team's offensive banner. As a rookie, Cameron Whitmore is still in the growth stage and has limited tactical status and playing time in the team. Although the Suns' first round pick in 2025 is valuable, it is highly uncertain. Giving these three chips to get Maxi is undoubtedly a great improvement to the team's offensive firepower. Although the Rockets currently have young talents such as Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung, they still lack offensive choices and stability at critical moments. Maxi's arrival will inject strong vitality into the Rockets' backcourt. He can form a highly lethal backcourt combination with VanVleet, bringing huge pressure to the opponent on the offensive end. Whether during the long schedule of the regular season or in the fiercely competitive playoffs, Maxi's scoring ability and game experience can help the Rockets go further.

And for the Sixers, their combination of Big Three this season has performed poorly in the playoffs, and the team is facing pressure to adjust the lineup. Jaylen Green is talented and has a lot of room for growth. In time, he may shine in the 76ers system; Cameron Whitmore's potential should not be underestimated, and it can provide more possibilities for the team's future; the 2025 Suns' first round pick can become an important asset for their subsequent operations. The 76ers can use these chips to further optimize the team's lineup and salary structure, and create more possibilities for subsequent signings and team building.

At present, this transaction is still in the preliminary discussion and negotiation stage. But judging from the needs and bargaining chips of both parties, this transaction is very feasible. Once the deal is reached, both the Rockets and the Sixers will have a profound impact on the team's future development. For Rockets fans, they can't wait to see Maxi put on the Rockets jersey and launch a rush to the championship goal with their teammates in the Toyota Center field. Let us wait and see if this deal that may change the alliance pattern can be finally achieved.
