Even after Durant s trade, the Rockets are still working hard to get Antetokounmpo or Jaylen Brown

According to Chaitanya Dadwar, contributor of US sports media F/W. NBA insider Kevin O'Connor said the Rockets still have a lot of assets to make compelling deal offers for Jaylen Brown, Antetokounmpo or any other superstar they want to pair with Durant.

According to Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo Sports, if they decide to form a superstar duo with Durant in Houston, they can even make a sincere offer for Antetokounmpo or Jaylen Brown. After the deal ended, O'Connor posted an article on social media after recording an episode about Durant's deal on his show, and then further analyzed the Rockets' trading assets if they decided to make another big move. "Tell me what you think of Kevin Durant's age: He's at the worst of the top 25 players, and at the best of the best of the top 7. Still an elite 3-point shooter. Still an elite scoring creator. The Rockets' massive acquisition, addressing areas of need. Houston still has assets to do more. The Rockets have the following first rounds: the 2027 Suns, the 2027 Nets or Rockets (most favorable), the 2028 Rockets, the 2029 Mavericks, the Suns or Rockets (two most favorable), the 2030 and 2031 and the 2032 Rockets.

This has up to 5 tradeable starters (own in 28, 30, 32, and 1 in 27 and 29. ) Plus the option to swap other starters. Considering the youngsters on the roster, Houston could be very creative in targeting more players in the deal. "The Rockets still have enough assets to make a compelling offer for Antetokounmpo or Jaylen Brown, or basically anyone they want to target, even after the acquisition of Kevin Durant. ” Will the Rockets take action again?

The Rockets have given up Jaylen Green, the potential future star, and they are unlikely to give up the rest of their young core just to force Durant to form a team that wins now. I don’t think the Rockets will make another superstar deal:

First, the Rockets had a great success last season with their young core, finishing second in the Western Conference. They may have found the cornerstone of the franchise in Shin Kyung and Amen. In addition to Durant, adding another superstar would seriously hinder the growth of both. Second, Durant has no good history of playing alongside the superstar, except when he played for the Warriors, Durant was at his peak and played him The best basketball in career. Finally, he can no longer be expected to take on the burden of the Rockets and become the best player on that team, approaching the twilight years of his career. But he is expected to use his experience in critical playoff situations and instill championship culture into young players by coaching young players as a veteran.

The two key names stand out from the list of potential superstars that may be traded this summer, and they are Antetokounmpo and Jaylen Brown. If the Rockets decide to trade any of these players, what the potential trading plan might look like:

Rockets get: Jaylen Brown

Celtics get: Shepard, Van Vreet and three first-round picks (2028 2030 and 2032)

Rockets get: Antetokounmpo

Bucks get: Shin Kyung, Jerry Jr., Langdale and two first-round draft picks (2028, 2030)

While Antetokounmpo may not be inclined to leave the Bucks, Jaylen Brown may be the Rockets’ more realistic target as the Celtics are reportedly listening to his trade offer.
