Leonard became the fuse? Bill and Durant reunited?

Being against Tiangang, Shen Jing took Jokic! The focus of the 2025 Men's Basketball European Championship was between Turkey and Serbia. In the end, Shin Kyung led the Turkish Men's Basketball Team to beat Jokic with a 95-90 win and a record of 5 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the group, and advanced to the eighth finals strongly. Not only that, Shin Kyung outperformed his opponent in a direct conversation with his teacher in this game. He could perform so well at the age of 23. Rockets general manager Raphael Stone is undoubtedly the happiest person. He provided Shin Kyung with a five-year, $185 million contract last summer, which only started to be executed in the new season. Now it seems that Stone's signing is very strategic. Otherwise, if it is delayed until this summer, Shen Jing will likely pursue a five-year, $240 million maximum salary contract similar to Thunder center Homegren.

The Rockets management is proud of Shin Kyung's outstanding performance, but the Clippers management is not happy. Leonard is deeply involved in the rumors of Yin-Yang contract. According to TA reporter Pablo Torre, the NBA league has begun investigation. If this incident is finally confirmed, not only will the Clippers be fined and confiscated a first-round pick as a punishment, but Leonard will also become a complete free agent. The related contracts signed with the Clippers will be invalidated. American Yang Yi A-Smith took advantage of the topic and played: "Leonard is the worst and the Yin-Yang contract is his style of doing things." Once Xiaoka leaves the Clippers, winning the championship will be a fantasy, and many players may apply for a deal. Harden, Zubac, Bill, Derek Jones Jr., etc. will all become the targets of many teams.

Recently, the US media FW suggested that the Rockets management pursue the Clippers' All-Star rear player Bill, who is a super scorer with rich offensive skills, superb three-point shooting skills and good at playing without the ball, and can make up for the gap in the shooting guard position caused by Jaylen Green's departure. The media provided a 3-for-1 trading offer to the Rockets and Clippers. If the negotiations go smoothly, veteran Jeff Green will become the abandoned target. The specific trading plan is: the Rockets send Aaron Holiday + Jeff Green + the first round pick in 2029 (the second highest pick among the three teams, the Rockets, Suns and Mavericks) to get Bradley Bill of the Clippers.

Joining the Suns for the two seasons was Bill's nightmare, although last season he averaged 17 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.1 minutes of playing time, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 38.6%. But compared with an annual salary of up to $50 million, such performance is obviously unsatisfactory. What's worse is that the Suns are not even qualified to participate in the playoffs under the leadership of Durant, Booker and Bill. Bill is 32 years old this year. As a three-time All-Star player, his competitive state has not shown signs of a significant decline. It is worth the money with a two-year contract of $10.98 million.

For the Clippers, Bill chose to join the salary cut to win the championship. If this wish cannot be achieved, he will resolutely choose to leave. The Rockets have a better chance to win the championship than the Clippers, and Bill's scoring ability happens to be the focus of head coach Uduka urgently needs to strengthen. So this is a win-win deal under the premise that Leonard was forced to leave the Clippers.
