Goodbye Brown? A potential trading plan for 5 to 2 is born, the Rockets new three giants? They will strive for the championship next season

NBA trading market, there are indeed many potential big fish this summer, and many All-Star players may seek trades during the offseason. The biggest card is undoubtedly Durant. When the Suns stopped in the regular season this year, Durant's departure seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and the cooperation between the three Suns completely failed. As for KD's next player, there is no doubt that he must meet the conditions for the championship. Whether he can win the championship with other teams other than the Warriors and breaking the Green formula depends on Durant's next choice. In addition to Durant, Antetokounmpo's next place is also worth paying attention to. After the Bucks were eliminated in another round of the game this season, Antetokounmpo also broke his obsession with one person and one city. This is the first time in his career that he should consider whether to leave Milwaukee, and his choice will also affect the entire league structure.

In addition to Durant and Antetokounmpo, there are also star-level players such as Zion, Raven, and Ball, who may also become trading chips this summer, including Jaylen Brown, the second largest contract owner in NBA history. The Celtics this season are indeed a bit disappointing. They were reversed by 20 points in two consecutive games in the second round, and were eliminated as the defending champion and were eliminated with a bang. The key is that the stability of their lineup cannot be continued. On the one hand, some core players in the team have seriously declined their personal abilities. For example, Holiday, while the defensive deterrence is declining, the offensive efficiency is very low and basically has no independent offensive ability. There is also Porzingis, who suffered a Waterloo, and his average score per game dropped from 19.5 points during the regular season to 7.7 points, and he was like sleepwalking.

The Celtics took a lot of risks when they introduced Pokémon because they had serious injuries and could help the Celtics win a championship last year. Pokémon's arrival was actually worth it. Unfortunately, his regression came too quickly. In addition to the decline in core players' abilities, on the other hand, the Celtics' salary space is about to explode. Their total salary next season is 231 million, far exceeding the second rich line (207.8 million), and the luxury tax is expected to be 263 million, equivalent to a yearly expenditure of nearly 500 million. The two-person contracts in the team won the top two major contracts in history. White, Holiday and Posses all had annual salaries of more than 30 million. Prichard won the best sixth man, and his value will appreciate rapidly in the future. It is difficult for the Celtics to have enough room to renew the contract, and White may also pursue a larger contract extension in the future.

Finally, the Celtics may experience major lineup changes. One of the key reasons is that Tatum's Achilles tendon has torn and cannot guarantee whether he can return next season, so the Celtics will lose their short-term competitiveness in winning the championship and urgently need to adjust the lineup structure. Regarding Jaylen Brown's deal, NBA famous reporter Bill Simmons provided such a 5-for-2 plan. The specific details are that the Celtics sent Jaylen Brown away and Ju Holiday away, and got Jabbarry Smith, Fred VanVleet, Tari Ethan from the Rockets, and this year's No. 10 pick. For the Celtics, this deal obviously has good significance. Holiday's future trading value will become smaller and smaller, and Brown's contract is too big. This exchange can save a lot, and at the same time, you can also get high-quality young players and draft picks like Smith Jr. and Ethan.

The key is to see whether they are willing to take Jaylen Brown. For the Rockets, first of all, they will definitely make lineup changes, because there are too many young players in the Rockets, and it is very necessary to exchange zero for the whole. The Rockets are now in a period of rapid growth. In just two years, they have turned from a bottom team to a marginal team in the playoffs, and then to the second in the Western Conference this year. The development of Jaylen Green and Shen Jing's duo will definitely be rushing to the championship in the future. However, it is precisely because the Rockets have too many young players, lack of playoff experience, and there is no absolute leader in the team that it is difficult for them to break through their own limits and go further in the playoffs. This year, although the Rockets are second in the regular season Western Conference, they lost to the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs and were eliminated by the Black Seven.

Therefore, one of the Rockets' primary goals this summer is to get a real number one star. If you can't get Durant or Antetokounmpo, then Jaylen Brown may be a good choice. He can form a new three giants with Shin Kyung and Green, and Shin Kyung and Green are just missing a tough player who can output stably. Brown is in line with this positioning. Moreover, Brown is also the original favorite of Rockets coach Uduka, and the two have a lot of experience in cooperation. In addition, as a veteran with two championships, Holiday can also provide rich combat experience for young players of the Rockets. This season, it can be seen that in order to train Thompson, the Rockets gradually compressed Smith's playing time and role positioning. He and Ethan also face renewal during the offseason. It is estimated that each person will have a contract of at least 20 million yuan. Van Jordan's contract expires next season, which will also bring a certain operating space to the Celtics. What do you think of this 5-for-2 trading plan?
