4 years of sharpshooting sold, compared with Holiday Brother Platinum, he is the player the Rockets need to strengthen

With the Celtics being eliminated in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, this Eastern Conference powerhouse was destined to demolish the team. The Rockets have the opportunity to trade 1-2 of them to seek reinforcement. In fact, when Uduka first came to the Rockets two years ago, some fans simulated whether Jaylen Brown could be dug up, but later Brown signed the largest contract extension in NBA history (at that time), and this transaction idea was stranded.
The reason why the Celtics analyze the possibility of team demolishing is that they will become the first team in NBA history to be forced to disband the championship team in order to escape the second rich tracing. The players who were demolished basically have certain strength in the market, not the kind of abandoned players that even cats and dogs don’t want. Judging from the information currently received, the players the Celtics are preparing to take action this year are similar to those predicted at the time. They want to let go of "Holiday Brothers" Holiday, Porzingis and Hauser.
Among them, Holiday Brother, who has 3 years of contract, has 104.4 million yuan, is the most mentioned player. From the perspective of strength, Holiday is still a star in the second-tier league, but given that his contract is too big (the remaining three years: $32.4 million, $34.8 million and $37.2 million), this is also the key point that needs to be considered for the team. According to Matt Moore, the Celtics are still relatively "optimistic" about Holiday's sale. They do not think Holiday is a negative asset player, and they even ask for a price in the first round. From the trail information released so far, both the Clippers and the Mavericks have some interest in the 35-year-old veteran.
Another former All-Star Porzingis is relatively "pessimistic". Although the latter has only a year-on-year contract of $30.73 million, and the transaction costs are relatively low, his poor performance in the playoffs this year is worrying, and the so-called unknown virus has also made executives of other teams worried whether he has already entered a downhill road. NBA reporter Evan Sidery believes that if you want to send away Platinum, the Celtics must rely on some effective assets to succeed, such as draft picks or some first- and second-year rookies.
In addition to players with big contracts such as Platinum and Holiday Brother, the name that is currently more important in trading is Hauser. He is the one with the relatively small contract price among the players the Celtics is preparing to sell. Next season is his first year of 45 million in four years. However, Hauser's performance in the Celtics has been quite stable in the past three years, playing at least 70 regular season games every year and maintaining a three-point shooting percentage of over 40%.
And unlike other white three-pointers, Hauser's static data is not bad. He has a 2.06-meter wingspan, which also allows him to hand in better defensive data than ordinary white pitchers, although his defensive ability and horizontal movement are average. Hauser's biggest problem is that his performance in the playoffs has shrunk, and of course this has something to do with the reduction of rotation in the Celtics' high-intensity game.
Personally, I think players like Hauser are ideal trading targets for the Rockets. In terms of ability, it matches the Rockets' shortest shortcoming (free throw & three-pointers) and is also relatively cheap in salary. You should know that the Rockets can make wild blacksmiths on the outside in the playoffs, and they can only rely on the impact of the double towers and outside players to barely score, but it is obviously difficult to ensure that the team wins stably. Hauser is a good trade reinforcement for the Rockets.
If you can get 118 million yuan in four years, the average annual salary of less than 30 million is really good. But at present, the Celtics should not sell novice, after all, novice White's cost-effectiveness is too high. The Celtics' goal is actually very simple. They will not completely disband the team and rebuild because of the team's super luxury. They currently have a registered player of US$227 million, which is nearly 20 million more than the second richest line. As long as they solve any problem with Holiday or Platinum, they can successfully reduce luxury. Judging from the book strength, only 1-2 people are missing, which should not significantly affect the team's current combat effectiveness.
