The Rockets want to trade Antetokounmpo to partner with Shin Kyung?

This summer is indeed a summer full of explosion news, with multiple teams likely to trade heavily and multiple top stars changing teams.

For example, many teams such as Celtics, Suns, and Cavaliers may trade important starters.

For example, super stars Antetokounmpo and Durant are already considered to leave this summer.

Especially Antetokounmpo, in the year of playing, Antetokounmpo's transfer will undoubtedly stir up the entire trading market and affect the league's pattern next season.

If Antetokounmpo applies to leave the team, the other 29 teams in the league will want to get him. The difference is whether there are enough bargaining chips and whether Antetokounmpo is willing to go.

At present, those who are optimistic about getting Antetokounmpo through trading this summer include the Spurs, Rockets, Raptors and other teams.

The Rockets returned to the playoffs after five years this year, but were blacked by the Warriors in the first round. Naturally, they hope to strengthen this summer through trading. It is definitely an opportunity for stars like Antetokounmpo to enter the trading market.

According to Chris Mannicks, a reporter from the US media "Sports Illustrated": The Rockets are interested in pursuing Antetokounmpo and are willing to make a offer. Except for Amen Thompson, they may become a bargaining chip. Jaylen Green's contract is an important bargaining chip. I think the Rockets hope to keep Alperen Shinkyung.

Amen is not tradeable, and he has been favored by many people for his performance.

The only one who can trade Antetokounmpo is Shin Kyung or Green. If the Rockets don’t go to Shin Kyung or Green, it is naturally impossible for Antetokounmpo to get Antetokounmpo.

Jaylen Green did a bad performance in the playoffs this year, scoring single digits in 7 games and 4 games. He averaged 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 37%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 29%, which was a significant decline from the regular season.

In the regular season, Jaylen Green is the Rockets' No. 4 scorer, but in the playoffs, he is the Rockets' No. 4 scorer.

"Brother Fengxue" has been suppressed for several years. When you thought he was successful this year, the playoffs were crushed again.

Of course, it is the first time to play in the playoffs after all, and it is not incomprehensible that it is not impossible to understand that it is poor.

Green signed a three-year, $105 million contract with the Rockets last summer, and has a player option in the 2027-28 season. The new contract will take effect next season, with a salary of $33.33 million next season.

If the Rockets trade with the Bucks, Green is indeed a better bargaining chip from the contract.

But, can Antetokounmpo and Shin Kyung be together?

Antesco's style of playing is to hit the inside. He needs to be equipped with teammates who shoot, especially the center position, and needs to have three points to open up space.

Just like Lopez of the Bucks' era, he opened up space outside the three-point line so that Antetokounmpo could rush to the inside.

Shen Jing's current three-point shooting ability is incomparable to Lopez. This season's regular season three-point shooting percentage is 23%, and he averages 1.2 shots per game. Although his three-point shooting percentage has reached 37% in the playoffs, he averages 1.1 shots per game, which has no deterrence.

The deal comes with Antetokounmpo, although it can increase the Rockets' talent limit, if they partner with Shin Kyung, they need to practice three-pointers this summer.

If Antetokounmpo is traded, the Rockets' defense is still terrible. Amen leads defense, Shen Jing leads the inside, Antetokounmpo assists in defense.

No matter whether the offense is compatible or not, at least the defense can still be fully loaded.
