Ready to start grabbing! US media showed 10 top trading chips: Rockets occupy two seats and Shepard ranks 8th

Prepare to grab it! After the first wave of major adjustments, the US media "bleacherreport" warmed up the second wave of major adjustments in trading, showing off a list of 10 major trading chips, of which the Rockets occupied two seats, and Shepard ranked 8th.

10th place: Bucks' first round in 29 years (Trail Blazers)

In Lillard's trade, the Trail Blazers got this first round pick from the Bucks. With Lillard's return, Zhu Holiday joined, and the Trail Blazers scored nearly 50% of the winning rate in the second half of the 24-25 season.

If the Trail Blazers continue to build in the new season, they are very likely to send away this first-round reinforcement and combat power. Considering the uncertainty of Antetokounmpo's future, this first-round pick is of very high value.

Ninth place: Topic (Thunder)

As the No. 12 pick in 24, he was selected by the Thunder due to injury and has not appeared in the NBA arena.

Considering his ball-holding ability and age at 19, if the Thunder are willing to trade him, Topic still has good trading value because he still has room for imagination.

8th place: Shepard (Rockets)

is the second-place pick in 24 years. Shepard did not get many opportunities in the Rockets during his rookie season. He had to survive in the cracks like the White Devils, which still had huge imagination space.

The Rockets are still very optimistic about this young double-season guard and hope that he can play an important role in the new season.

But if there is a chance to get a higher-level star in the future, Shepard may still be part of the deal, especially considering that the Rockets can also trade 5 first-round picks in one go.

7th place: The Warriors' first round pick in 28 years is trapped by Kumingga's contract renewal. The Warriors have become the only team that has zero operation since the offseason, but this does not mean that they will make no progress throughout the offseason.

After solving the issue of Kumingga's contract renewal, I believe that the Warriors will continue to build a championship lineup around Curry, Zhu Meng and Butler, and the first round of picks in 28 years will become the most important bargaining chip.

Because the Warriors' core is already very old, the potential value of this first-round pick is also very high.

No. 6: Carson Wallace (Thunder)

As one of the core rotations of the defending champion Thunder, Carson Wallace is a very destructive defender, but he has not contributed enough on the offensive end.

As the Thunder's 26-year salary will usher in an explosive increase, Carson Wallace is very likely to be abandoned, and he is not irreplaceable, and the Thunder have a lot of first-round picks to choose a replacement.

Fifth place: The Clippers' first round of 28 years (76ers)

The Clippers' first round pick is worth a lot. It is not difficult to see from the contract period and overall staffing of the Clippers' contract renewal this summer that the Clippers are determined to compete for the championship in the next two seasons based on the existing lineup. If it fails, it is expected to be fully rebuilt.

However, the 76ers may not necessarily send off this first-round pick, because of Embiid's complex situation, the 76ers are also facing a fork in the team building.

4th place: Holland (Pistols)

Holland scored a full-scoring summer performance, but this was not enough to make it determine a core rotation position for the Pistons.

If he cannot improve his shooting ability to the NBA level, he will be in a very embarrassing situation with the Pistons, which already have non-space players Osal and Durham.

Third place: Kylewell (Heat)

As one of the best players in the 24th rookie season, the Heat attaches great importance to Kylewell and is even unwilling to send him away in the pursuit of Durant.

But this does not mean that he is a non-selling product, especially when Butler leaves the team, Riley is extremely eager to get another superstar. If the opportunity does appear, Kylewell will be the Heat's most powerful bargaining chip at the negotiating table.

Second place: Suns' first round in 27 and 29 years (Rockets)

Rockets were once again selected and became the only team on the list to occupy two seats. This is thanks to Stone's magical operation. In the process of getting Durant, the Rockets only gave the No. 10 draw, and also had the first round in 27 and 29 years.

Combining the Suns' thin lineup and unclear future, the value of these two first-round picks may even exceed the No. 10 pick in 25 years.

Plus, the Rockets can also pack up to 5 first-round picks, and there are high-quality young potential chips like Shepard. If top players like Antetokounmpo and Jokic enter the market, the Rockets will be the most powerful competitor.

No. 1: McCain (76ers)

Before being injured, McCain played at the best rookie level, but Maxi already had Maxi in the same position in the 76ers, and he won VJ Edgecom with the Titans draw, and faced a renewal of Grimes.

If Embiid recovers to health and the Sixers try to strengthen other positions, it is possible to sell McCain, whose offensive roles overlap and defense is problematic.
