5 for 1 trade, Perkins suggests the Rockets trade Durant letters, and form a super lineup against the Warriors

Although the Rockets performed well in the regular season this season and achieved the second record in the Western Conference, they still lost the game in the tiebreak battle against the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs and were successfully "black seven" by the Warriors. If they want to go further next season, they really need to strengthen, especially the scoring players at critical moments.

Former American NBA player, commentator Perkins said after the Rockets lost the tiebreak, that the Rockets had used Jaylen Green, Whitmore, Jabbarry Smith Jr. and several draft picks to trade for Durant or Antetokounmpo. In this way, they can form a super five-squad with Amen Thompson, Shinkin, Van Vleet and Dillon Brooks, and their starting lineup will be very strong.

The Rockets are already very strong this season, but their scoring ability is weak at critical moments, especially in the tiebreak against the Warriors. The young Jaylen Green performed poorly, Amen Thompson fought for cramps, and Shen Jing didn't have many solutions. Van Vleet was embarrassed and reused. They needed a player who could solve problems at critical moments. Durant and Antetokounmpo are both good candidates.

Durant will definitely leave the team this summer. He averaged 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season, and performed well. It would be relatively simple if the Rockets wanted to trade him, especially if they gave away young players like Jaylen Green, they would impress the Suns. Lillard may be reimbursed next season, Antetokounmpo may apply to leave the team, so the Rockets have a chance. He averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game this season. If the Rockets can get him, the team will become a championship team.

The Rockets' main competitors next season are still the Warriors, Lakers, Nuggets, Clippers and Thunder, etc. They need to continue to strengthen to go further.
