Adams airborne Golden State? Moody assists Durant?

The NBA preseason ushered in the focus game, the Lakers played against the Warriors, and fans wanted to see James VS Curry. As time goes by, the showdown between these two palace-level stars is difficult to see. But it is regrettable that the Lakers coaching staff did not arrange for James to play. As a veteran who has played for more than 20 seasons, he no longer needs to prove himself through the preseason. After the Warriors management renewed the contract with Kumingga, they can finally free up their hands and feet to sign Melton and Horford. The Warriors' lineup strength has increased compared to last season and will become a strong contender for the championship in the new season. But the Warriors' lineup is not impeccable, especially the No. 5 position is obviously not enough to rely on Zhu Meng, who is not tall enough and the 39-year-old Horford. In order to continue the glory of the Warriors dynasty and make good use of Curry's peak period, General Manager Deng Liwei will not give up any opportunity to strengthen.

Recently, the US media "Fadeaway World" suggested that the Warriors management will use Rockets center Adams as the primary target for signings. With the huge progress made by Shin Kyung in the European Championships and the joining of Rockets' former player Capela, and Jabbarry Smith Jr. can also play the role of center, Adams' position and situation have become quite embarrassing. The Warriors just happen to lack a high-quality center. Aquaman Adams has the top frontcourt rebounding ability in the league, and he can grab the shots that Curry and Butler did not make. The media suggested that the Warriors and the Rockets negotiate on a 3-for-1 trading offer. If the negotiations go smoothly, Moody will be sent to Houston. The specific trading plan is: the Warriors will send Moses Moody + the 2026 Hawks second round pick + the 2028 Hawks second round pick to get Steven Adams of the Rockets.

Adams is 32 years old, 2.11 meters tall, 2.25 meters in wingspan, and weighs 120 kilograms. He averaged 13.9 minutes per game last season, scored 3.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists, and shot 54.5% from the field. Adams once missed a season due to a knee injury and was abandoned by the Grizzlies. The Rockets gave him the chance to be reborn. Head coach Uduka did not overuse Neptune due to insufficient manpower, but gave him enough rest time. Adams rewarded the Rockets management's trust in him with his outstanding performance in the playoffs. As the Rockets' direct opponent in the playoffs, General Manager Dunleavy Jr. also saw Adams's strength, and his joining will give the Warriors a true No. 5 position.

Moody is Shin Kyung's rookie, 23 years old this year. As an excellent outside pitcher, he averaged 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in averaging 22.3 minutes of playing time last season, and shot 37.4% from three-pointers. He is a good and cheap shooting guard with a contract of only $37.5 million in the next three years, but Moody's is not indispensable for the Warriors. His position can be replaced by Hilde, Pojemsky, Melton, and Payton Jr. The Rockets are a team with strong defense and weak offense. Durant's arrival will alleviate this problem to a certain extent, but relying on one person to solve all problems is obviously not possible. Moody's playing style is suitable for the Rockets' tactical system. His contribution on the defensive end is underestimated. A strong body and fast lateral movement can help him become an all-round player. The stern Uduka can stimulate his potential on the defensive end.
