U.S. media suggests that the Rockets use Ethan + White Devil + No. 10 for Powell + No. 30 for signing

Although nearly three weeks have passed since the Rockets were eliminated in the playoffs, the fans' criticism and controversy over Jaylen Green is still not over. Some fans bluntly said that even if Kevin Porter Jr. replaces Jaylen Green, the Rockets can advance smoothly.

Kevin Porter Jr. went through the first phase of the Rockets' reconstruction, and was later swept out by Stone because he was involved in a domestic violence incident. Porter Jr., who returned to the NBA, played in the playoffs for the first time, and his answer was that he averaged 11.2 points and 5.4 assists per 30 minutes per game, shooting percentage of 39.6% and three-point shooting percentage of 46.7%. Porter Jr. plays more confidently and hits higher than Jaylen Ge. Porter Jr. celebrated his 25th birthday on May 4th local time, and some Rockets fans hope that Stone can give him another chance.

There are also Rockets fans who hope to trade Jaylen Greene chips for Norman Powell. FW also believes that Powell is suitable for the Rockets, but the Clippers probably don't have much interest in Jaylen Green. This American media suggests that the Rockets use Ethan + White Devils + No. 10 to exchange Powellga's No. 30.

Specific trading plan: The Rockets sent Jock Landale, Tari Ethan, Cam Whitmore and the 2025 No. 10 pick (from the Suns), and obtained Norman Powell and the 2025 No. 30 pick (from the Thunder).

US media FW said that Powell can bring offensive firepower to the Rockets, and he can partner with Alperen Sengon and Van Jordan. If Jaylen Green is traded, Powell can take his place. Ethan and Whitmore, on the other hand, can bring vitality to the Clippers, both young players with potential.

Seeing this trading plan, I have to say that the Rockets lost. The Rockets lack stable scoring points in the playoffs, and this is a fact that the shooting guard is not good. But if the Rockets pursue Powell, it can be said that they are in a hurry to seek medical treatment.

Powell is 31 years old and has a wingspan of 1.93. He has played for the Raptors for many years and then played for the Trail Blazers. He has played in the Clippers in the last four seasons. Powell has good shooting ability, but his efficiency will drop significantly when facing high-intensity defense.

The Clippers lost to the Rockets in two losses in November last year. Powell's defense against Houston was 5 of 18 and 8 points, respectively. In December, the Clippers lost to the Rockets again at home, and Powell scored 17 points in 5 of 18. Powell averaged 21.8 points and 2.1 assists per game in the regular season this season, shooting 48.4% from the field and 41.8% from three-point shooting percentage. In the playoffs, he averaged 16 points and 2.4 assists, with a shooting percentage of 47.2% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35%, a significant decline. In the critical game of the Clippers' playoffs, Powell scored only 9 points in 4 of 11 shots, made 3 mistakes, plus or negative values ​​-31. After the game, he was criticized by the fans. Some people bluntly said that Powell's dribble was poor and his defense was not good either. Fans' comments on Powell are reminiscent of Jaylen Green.

Jaillen Green played in the playoffs for the first time, and he still met the victims of the Warriors. Powell has rich playoff experience, and Leonard and Harden help him attract defense, which turned out to be like this.

Some Clippers fans hope to trade Smith Jr. Smith Jr. lost his starting position, and he was not valued by Uduka. Smith Jr. is only 22 years old, 2.11 meters tall, does not occupy the ball, and can open up space to grab rebounds. His characteristics are very consistent with his partner Harden. At that time, the US media rumored that Harden wanted to return to the Rockets to play, and Smith Jr. publicly expressed his welcome.
