Hsu Media discusses 10 potential recruitment targets: Harden enters the list of Booker fits the timeline, KD is too old

On May 9, the Houston Rockets had agreed with Fred VanVleet to postpone his 25-26 season 44 million player option to June 29, so that they could wait until the end of the playoffs to make a decision, which was to prepare for the Rockets' draft after the lottery.

Retirement media Bradeaux reminds Rockets fans that the draft lottery ceremony will be held with 4 days left. If the Rockets cannot draw the top four picks, then which rookies should we pay attention to?

Earlier, the three major bloggers in Houston: Bradeaux, Biased, and Jeezysupremacy talked about the team's potential offseason recruitment topics in the live broadcast room. Here we talked about: Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Devin Booker, Trae Young, Ja Morant, Lamelo Ball, Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Quentin Grimes, Austin Reeves and other 10 people.

Most of these players need to be obtained through trades, but James Harden and Grimes can sign naked, Harden can jump out of the contract and become free agents. Grimes is a restricted free agent, and the other 8 people need to pass trades. The most talked about at present are Durant, Giannis and Booker.

Meiji suggests that the Rockets exchange Amen, Shepard and Jabbarri Jr. for Morant. The media Bradeaux believes that the proposal for this transaction is simply crazy. We are even unwilling to exchange Amen single for Morant because Amen is the super giant in the future.

rest media Biased believes that Booker is the most suitable candidate for the Rockets, with the timeline, age, and transaction price matching, but everything shows that the Suns will give Booker an indefinite contract renewal this summer. If the Suns do not renew him in advance, then he will become our potential target.

Durant is currently the most recommended candidate for the famous speakers, but Durant is already 37 years old. If the Rockets sacrifice too much, he will harm him and have no benefit in the future, because if he doesn't win the championship for 1-2 seasons, he will fail, and a young lineup can win in the future.
