Breakthrough in the new season! US media supports the Rockets three former players: White Devils traded 1 for 2 for Houcheng Ren

The new season is expected to make a breakthrough! With only one week left before the training camp for the new season, US media "SI" posted a post to support the Rockets' three old players to perform better in the new season. Among them, the White Devil was traded for 1 for 2 and sent to the Wizards of his hometown team. Houston was so kind.
Third place: Porter Jr. (Bucks)
As a controversial player, Porter Jr. was once highly expected in the early stage of the Rockets' reconstruction. He also played his best data performance in his career so far during the Rockets' period, winning a four-year contract from Houston.
As a result, Porter Jr. had difficulty controlling his emotions and personality, which led to him being in trouble both on and off the court and having to go overseas to hunt for gold.
did not return to the NBA until the 24-25 season. He first proved himself with the Clippers, and then chose his own Bucks to become one of the core rotations, and received a two-year, $11 million contract extension in the offseason.
This is not a difficult choice for the Bucks, because Porter Jr. was one of the few highlights found during the team's failure last season.
When he focuses entirely on the court, no one will question his game talent, especially his creativity and scoring explosive power on the offensive end.
With Lillard's departure, the Bucks' No. 1 position has been further vacuumed in the new season, which has given Kevin Porter Jr. the opportunity to further improve his role. He will inevitably eat more ball rights and hope to complete self-proof.
Second place: Whitmore (Wizards)
is another young star with a burst of talent, but his personality and style of play. Whitmore, like Porter Jr., has been highly anticipated by the Rockets with his proud talent and has been trained for many seasons.
Even though the Rockets quickly adjusted their roster in the past two seasons and quickly transformed from a rebuilding bottom into a potential championship contender, Houston has been patient with Whitmore.
Faced with the "lone wolf" Whitmore who is unwilling to invest 100% on the defensive end, Uduka specially formulated a training plan to allow him to frequently go back and forth between the Development League and the NBA to ensure a chance to play. Unfortunately, the White Devil's growth still did not meet the standards.
Even so, the Rockets still did their best when they broke up, took the initiative to make concessions in the transaction, and sent them to the Wizards' team in his hometown, and only exchanged for two second round picks.
In fact, there are better returns in the market for the Rockets to choose, but the latter insists on putting Whitmore's future growth first. The latter was born in Odenton, Maryland, and is only more than 30 minutes' drive from the Wizards Stadium. He has been a die-hard fan of the Wizards since he was a child.
More importantly, the Wizards are in the early stages of chaotic reconstruction, which is very conducive to the growth of a player like Whitmore who is good at disrupting battles.
No doubt, the top position belongs to Jaylen Green. Whether it is from the current personal ability or the talent limit in the future, Jaylen Green is the first person on the list.
The Rockets once regarded it as a long-term core training. Jaylen Green also performed at a quasi-All-star level last season, but he was not stable enough offensively and poor performance in his first playoff journey. He was eventually sent to the Suns by the Rockets for Durant.
For the Rockets, which are determined to compete for the championship, this is a reinforcement transaction that there is no reason not to make. For Jaylen Green, leaving the Rockets with huge pressure and joining the Suns in a chaotic period may not be a bad thing for him. Like the White Devils, he is a typical master of chaos and requires a lot of ball rights and time to polish his skills and stability.
