Crazy! Rockets want to trade in Kyoto, what will Durant think? This transaction will definitely not be profitable

Basketball

How outstanding was Shin Kyung's performance in the 24-25 season? In terms of large data, Jokic and Sabonis Jr. are only three inside players who scored at least 1,400 points, 750 rebounds and 350 assists. If "Yossa" represents the Mesozoic generation, then Shin Kyung is the representative of the new generation's all-round inside.

In addition, there is another point that must be mentioned.

Explanation point: defense. Shin Kyung averaged 7.2 shots per game in the 23-24 season, and the 24-25 season value rose to 9.1 times. With the increase in defensive enthusiasm, the opponent's shooting rate can be limited from 48.4% to 45.3%.

is converted to high-order data, and the real positive and negative value of 1.8 is not only the highest since his NBA career, but also ranks 13th in the league.

all-round also includes defense, so Shin Kyung's upper limit is still very high. From this perspective, it can be understood that the Rockets were unwilling to give up when Durant's trade was involved. To put it bluntly, Durant is more regarded as a mercenary by the Rockets, and Shin Kyung is the team's future.

However, according to the US media Sports Illustrated, the Rockets and the Bucks are negotiating a 4-for-1 deal. Specifically, the Rockets sent Shin Kyung, Jabarry Smith Jr., Shepard, and Antetokounmpo in the first round in 28 years.

What is the situation? The Rockets want to trade Shin Kyung?

This is crazy, I don't know how Durant will feel.

Explanation point: that is, combat power. Durant was 0.351 points/round in the 24-25 season and 0.444 points/round in the critical moment. Both numbers are among the top 20 in the league. More importantly, the more critical the moment you reach, the higher the efficiency of ending. From the side, Durant is still the top superstar in the league on the offensive end.

From this perspective, it is definitely impossible for Durant to have no idea in his mind. What I mean is all super giants, why can you abandon Shin Kyung when it comes to trading with Antetokounmpo, but that won't work for myself. Obviously, the Rockets have already positioned Antetokounmpo higher than Durant.

In fact, I think this deal is definitely not profitable from the Rockets' perspective.

Reason 1: "Heavy head and light feet". He gave up Shin Kyung and Jabarri Smith Jr., and there will be a "vacuum" in the Rockets' interior - 33-year-old Adams and 32-year-old Capela are limited due to their age limit and can only play high-level games per game about 20 minutes per game.

Reason 2: Heart and energy. Whether it is Durant or Antetokounmpo, they are all used to being the absolute core. More importantly, both of them have championships, so it is impossible to assist the other party sincerely.

Reason 3: Chemical reaction. Considering that Antetokounmpo does not have the ability to do without the ball, Durant can only make changes. But under the premise of the second point, it is difficult for the former to willingly give up the ball rights to assist Antetokounmpo.

To sum up the above three points, "not making money" is reflected in the fact that it is difficult for two super giants, Durant and Antetokounmpo, to form an effect of 1+1 greater than 2 or even equal to 2. On the other hand, the Rockets' lineup is complete and Durant is in charge, which has the possibility of winning the championship.

Finally, I really don’t know what the Rockets management thinks. Giving up Shen Jing to trade Antetokounmpo will do more harm than good for the team.
