Rockets trade Jaylen Green carefully, Halliburton is the lesson of the past

The Rockets are interested in promoting big deals in the summer, and Jaylen Green is likely to become a bargaining chip, but this requires caution and not repeat the mistakes of the Kings sending Halliburton away.

On February 9, 2022, the Kings and Pacers reached a big deal, sending Halliburton, Hilder, TT Thompson to exchange for Sabonis, Lamb, Justin Holiday and a 2027 second-round pick.

The reason why the King sent Halliburton away was to establish Fox as the core. Unfortunately, Fox also left the Spurs in 2025. The King finally lost the game, and what made the King even more crazy was that Halliburton led the Pacers to the finals.

The Kings lost a lot in trading Halliburton. The Rockets are now facing the same problem. Jaylen Green is indeed performing unstable, but is there any need to wait for another season? Or should I send it away now?

If Jaylen Green still can't satisfy the team after waiting for another season, then he can trade without hesitation; if he sends it away now, if he plays again in other teams, wouldn't he follow the old path of the King?

So the final conclusion is to take a look at the trading of Jaylen Green.
