The latest news from the Rockets, Antetokounmpo is good!

On May 16, according to NBC Sports reporter Kurt Helin, the Rockets are open to sending Shin Kyung away in Antetokounmpo's potential deal, but the Bucks are obviously more interested in Jaylen Green!
Then Hoopswire reporter Sam Amico followed up and explained the report: "What I understand is that if the Rockets really plan to get Antetokounmpo, then except Amen Thomson, they can use all the players as bargaining chips, which is not a joke!"
Then, as Sam said, has Amen Thomson reached the level of non-sale products of the Rockets?
This season's regular season, Amen Thomson played 69 games for the Rockets, of which 42 games were the starters. In averaging 32.2 minutes per game, he can contribute 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists, with 55.7%/27.5% of the two shooting percentages respectively!
In the playoffs, Amen Thomson played 7 games for the Rockets. In the average 33 minutes of the game, he can contribute 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 46.4%/25.0% respectively in both games. Objectively speaking, Amen Thomson is actually far from reaching the point of not selling products. His technical statistics have obvious shortcomings:
1. Poor shooting stability, less than 30% of the three-point shooting percentage
2. The explosive power of the score is 0, and it is difficult to train as the first core
3. In the modern NBA system that emphasizes space basketball, it is a bit uncomfortable
Perhaps, the Rockets management values more his unparalleled talents, such as athletic ability, growth space, rebounding sense, defensive ability, etc.
But in an MVP-level star trade like Antetokounmpo, is it wise to give up because of retaining Thompson?
This question is different. Judging from the team's long-term plan, Amen is obviously more worth looking forward to than Antetokounmpo.
But if it is a discussion, Antetokounmpo will definitely be far stronger than Amen Thomson! What do you think?
