The Rockets are planning a 3-for-1 trade offer for the Spurs? Kelden is partnering with Durant?

There is a surprise! The highly anticipated deal mentioned by famous reporter Shams did not happen as scheduled, but both Chinese fans and Rockets fans got satisfactory results. Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers at the 16th pick in the first round, becoming the third Chinese player to be selected into the NBA as a first-round rookie after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. VanVleet chose to sign a two-year, $50 million contract and enjoy the player option the next year. The salary cut was surprising. The Rockets management thus obtained a full middle-class special case of $14.1 million, and the next step is to test the general manager Raphael Stone's operational ability. Naz Reed, Westbrook, Ben Simmons, Brogdon, Russell, Brogdon and Schroeder may all become Stone's targets for signing. In addition, Durant hopes to help the Rockets win the championship, so he is also likely to choose to cut salary and renew his contract, which also creates conditions for Stone to leave Jabbarry Smith Jr. and Tari Ethan.

Of course, Rockets general manager Stone did not give up the opportunity to continue to find bargains in the trading market. So he set his sights on the Spurs, which had just selected Rutgers' talented defender Dylan Harper, a player considered Harden's successor, with high training value. But the Spurs' backcourt has become overcrowded, with All-Star point guard Fox, Best Rookie Castle, Wassell, who is superb in shooting skills and Kelden Johnson, the best sixth man contender. Therefore, when the price is reasonable, it is not ruled out that general manager Brian Wright sends away the backcourt players in the team. The media provided a 3-for-1 trading offer to the Rockets and Spurs. If the negotiations go smoothly, Kelden will be sent to Houston as a bargaining chip. The specific trading plan is: the Rockets send Jock Landale + Cameron Whitmore + the first round of 2029 (the second highest pick among the three teams of Suns, Mavericks and Rockets) Kelden Johnson of the Spurs.

As Es Bailey refused to go to any team to try, his draft pick fell to fifth place. Therefore, Dylan Harper became the only candidate for the second place pick. Apart from Flag, who has already been confirmed as the No. 1 pick, only his college alumnus Es Bailey has the ability to become the No. 2 pick. The Spurs do not have the ability to compete in the playoffs for the time being, so they will inevitably provide Dylan Harper with a lot of training opportunities. Castle is not as talented and capable as the former, but he was awarded the Best Rookie in the Draft Year. Harper is expected to play even more outstanding statistics in San Antonio. Kelden was once the leading star of the Spurs, but after Wenban Yama joined, he did not even maintain his starting position. The talented Harper will take up his playing time, so Kelden hopes to escape from San Antonio as soon as possible and head to a team that needs him more. After the Rockets sent Jaylen Green away, the shooting guard position needed to be added. Amen Thompson has limited scoring ability and poor shooting feel. Kelden's addition can enhance the Rockets' offensive firepower in the backcourt. What is even more commendable is that as an all-round fighter, Kelden's performance on the defensive end is also not inferior. With his strong body, fast horizontal movement and abundant physical fitness, he can always make the opponent feel pressure. This deal is equally attractive to the Spurs. In addition to a valuable first-round pick, Whitmore is about the same age as Vinbanyama, Harper and Castle, and he is expected to become one of the Spurs' rapidly rising puzzles.
