Hiro assists Harden? The Rockets, Clippers and Heat are planning a three-party deal?

If time can go back, which deal does Clippers fans want to stop? The answer is obvious. In the summer of 2019, the Clippers management used the sky-high chips of Alexander + 5 first-round picks + 2 first-round picks to swap rights and obtained Paul George from the Thunder. However, George did not help the Clippers win the NBA championship. Now he has gone to Philadelphia, but Alexander has grown into the Thunder's star. He won the league's scoring champion, regular season MVP, and Western Conference Finals MVP this season, and led the team to an outstanding record of 68 wins and 14 losses, reaching the finals strongly, just one step away from his first NBA championship. The problem with the Clippers is Harden's physical strength and Leonard's injury, which requires someone to stand up and share the pressure for them.

Recently, US media BR suggested that the Clippers management pursues Heat star Taylor Herro in the offseason this summer. 25-year-old Hiro is in his playing years. After Jimmy Butler leaves, he takes on the role of the Heat's number one scorer. The media provided a three-party trading offer to the Clippers and Heat. The Rockets were involved as a third party. If the negotiations go smoothly, high-quality 3D Derek Jones is expected to land in Houston. The specific trading plan is: 1. The Clippers gave Bogdan Bogdanovic + Derek Jones + Drew Eubank + the 30th pick in 2025 first round pick + the Clippers' first round pick in 2031; 2. The Rockets gave Cameron Whitmore + Jock Landale to Derek Jones; 3. The Heat gave Taylor Herro to Bogdan Bogdanovic + Cameron Whitmore + Jock Landale + Drew Eubank + 2 future first round picks.

Hello averaged 35.3 minutes per game this season, scoring 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.5 assists, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%. He is a double guard with skilled ball-handling skills and excellent mid- and long-distance shooting skills. He has the means to send the ball into the basket no matter when facing any defender. Although Hero's performance on the defensive end is average due to his insufficient static talent and poor physical confrontation ability, under the guidance of Iron Blood Head Coach Spoelstra, his defensive enthusiasm and attitude have been greatly improved. Herro's joining can not only share the pressure on organizational connections for Harden and help him save physical fitness, but also share the pressure on scoring for Xiaoka. Compared with Bogdanovic, who is in a worrying state, Hiro has a more significant effect on improving the strength of the Clippers.

For the Rockets, Whitmore has top athletic talent and can complete various difficult dunk moves, but his playing style is not suitable for head coach Uduka's tactical system. Derek Jones Jr. averaged 24.3 minutes per game this season, contributing 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of 52.6%. As a small forward with tough defensive performance and accurate three-pointers at open positions, his annual salary is less than $10 million, and Jones Jr. is an option that no team needs to consider. In addition, the Rockets' Tate and Jeff Green's contract is about to expire this summer, and the strength of the forward line will inevitably be affected. The addition of Jones Jr. will effectively solve this problem. After sending away Jimmy Butler, the Heat are not far from the road to reconstruction. Herro does not have the ability to lead the Heat into the playoffs. The scheming general manager Pat Riley is likely to exchange him for future assets.
