Big bet! Rockets 10 draw + two potential stocks to exchange for No. 1 pick. US media: This operation is more profitable than grabbing Antetokounmpo

If the hot scene at the trade deadline can be reproduced this offseason, it will inevitably be a remarkable basketball feast. Looking back at the week before this year's trading deadline, it can be said that the situation is changing. All-star players such as Doncic, Butler, Lavender and Fox have changed their respective teams, bringing new variables to the league structure.

And now, the public's attention is focused on the Bucks' "big man" Antetokounmpo, Suns' forward Durant, and several other stars whose future direction is still unclear. Everyone is looking forward to seeing what new trends they will bring to the league.

For the Houston Rockets, which are loved and paid attention to by fans, this offseason operation is crucial; if successful, they will become a real championship team; if they fail, they will still be the king of the regular season and the playoffs genius.

Because this season, the Houston Rockets swept away their previous decline, and directly advanced to the playoffs with the second place in the Western Conference with the trend of "killing people with people, killing Buddhas with Buddhas". However, when encountering his old opponent, Golden State Warriors, the team under Uduka seemed to lose their magic power and were suppressed on both ends of the offense and defense.

What is even more desperate is that just when Hilder, Butler, and Curry were fully fired and unmatched, no one in the Houston Rockets could stand up and respond. Because of this, everyone realizes that the Houston Rockets lacks a real star in their lineup.

If the Rockets' general manager is really willing to decisively abandon the continuity of the team's lineup in order to introduce superstars at the best lineup level, then in this crucial offseason, the Rockets will inevitably show strong aggressiveness in the player trading market and actively attack to pursue their favorite targets.

According to NBA reporter Chad Ford, a source revealed that the Houston Rockets and the New Orleans Pelicans had in-depth negotiations on the Zion Williamson deal all night last night. Judging from the current situation, the Rockets have shown full sincerity, willing to take out players such as Dillon, Whitmore, and Shepard, and take the No. 10 pick in 2025 to use it as a bargaining chip to win Zion. As the No. 1 pick in 2019, Zion Williamson has been tangled with injuries in his career. However, even though the haze of injuries has always been shrouded in the middle, the dominance shown by the young player in the interior is still amazing.

Zion, standing in the inside, is like a towering towering tower. His strong body and amazing power make people think of O'Neal, the "big shark" who called the wind and rain in the inside. At the same time, he also has delicate ball control skills that are extremely inconsistent with the inside player's identity, and is no less than those skilled defenders. Under his control, the basketball seemed to have a soul and moved across the court with agility. Such a talented and comprehensive ability Zion will undoubtedly make the team's overall strength achieve a qualitative leap once he can join the Houston Rockets.
