The 9th draw is greater than the 10th draw, the Raptors have better chips? The Rockets see through the Suns routine

The Suns draw in the Rockets before this year's draft draw is expected to be the No. 9 draw, but after the draw, it became the No. 10 draw. Not only did the Rockets not draw the first four draws, but the first round draw also dropped by one, which was a loss. The transaction value of the

9 lottery is greater than the 10th lottery. This sign is currently in the hands of the Raptors, and now they also want to get Durant to improve their lineup.

Judging from the latest revelations from the US media, the Raptors may be able to take out better chips than the Rockets.

ESPN famous reporter Vincenter said in the show that the Raptors are willing to give the No. 9 draw and young players to impress the Suns, and they have the opportunity to win the Durant battle. At present, the Suns have not received the bargaining chips that satisfy them, and the newly joined Raptors may become dark horses.

The Raptors once won the championship through big trades and tasted the sweetness, and they have another idea this offseason.

The American media clutchpoints said that the Raptors are very interested in Antetokounmpo, but the latter is not currently in the trading market. The Suns have put Durant on the shelves, who still maintains excellent offensive capabilities this season. On the other hand, Barrett's growth was not as expected, his chemistry with Barnes was not good, and the Raptors were interested in trading it. The potential transaction plan proposed by

"clutchpoints". The Raptors gave the No. 9 draw, Barrett, and Pearl, and got Durant from the Suns.

NBA reporter Ary said that the Timberwolves and the Raptors currently provide the best chips.

According to Houston media analysis, the Rockets may be willing to take out chips including Jaylen Green, and the 2025 No. 10 pick. Amen and Sengon will not be put into the Durant transaction negotiations. Stone believes that Smith Jr., Whitmore and Shepard still have great potential to tap and want to cultivate them.

Scoring guard Jaylen Green is 1.93 meters tall at the age of 23. He averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in 33 minutes in the regular season this season, shooting percentage of 42.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 81.3%. He performed poorly in the playoffs, averaging 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, shooting 37.2% from the field and 29.5% from three-pointers. His annual salary next season is $33.33 million, and his contract expires in 2028.

Swingman RJ Barrett is 25 years old and tall at 1.98 meters tall. He averaged 21.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game in the regular season this season, with a shooting percentage of 46.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 63%. His annual salary next season is US$27.7 million, and his contract expires in 2027.

In comparison, Barrett's transaction value is higher than Jaylen Green.

Rockets have the No. 10 picks. The Suns' ultimate goal of trading Durant in 2027 and 2029 is to get their first round picks back. The Suns are looking for people to raise prices everywhere to make the Rockets bleed.

To be honest, the Suns are a show of their skills, and this move has been played by the Rockets long ago.

Harden designated the next deal, and the Rockets used the 76ers to raise the price in a relatively passive manner, hollowing out the Nets' first round pick. Later, the Nets failed to win the championship and had to rebuild, so they found the Rockets to exchange the Suns' pick for their first round pick.

Rockets general manager Stone has seen through the Suns' routine and he continues to lower the price.

The Rockets are not in a hurry, but the Suns cannot be in a hurry. Durant's contract is only one year left, and he wants to leave. Phoenix reporters' latest statement that if Durant likes his next home and does not raise the offer, the Suns will not trade with them.

Rockets do not have to trade with the Suns. Even without Durant being introduced, the growing Rockets can still gain a foothold in the Wild West.
