US media suggests that the Rockets refuse big deals: 4-for-3 with the Mavericks is enough, Clay Washington assists Shin Kyung

The Houston Rockets have too many draft pick assets and young assets, which has also led to the Rockets becoming the trading targets of many teams in the offseason. Currently, there are many superstars involved in the Rockets: Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Dalius Garland, etc.

On May 29, the US media FW believed that the Rockets should not make big deals. Young assets such as Shin Kyung, Jaylen Green, Ethan, Jabbarry Smith Jr., Shepard, etc. should not be sent away. Especially Shin Kyung is already an All-Star center and is almost selected for the best team this season, so it can be repaired around the young team. The Dallas Mavericks are the target that the Rockets can try to cooperate with.

FW believes that the Rockets and Mavericks will be a win-win situation - the Rockets will get Klay Thompson, PJ Washington, Jaden Hardy;

The Mavericks will get Dillon Brooks, Cam Whitmore, the second round of 2025, and the second round of 2027. The article reads: The Rockets' three-point shooting percentage is as high as 39.1%. He has the Rockets' most scarce outside shooting ability, and he has four championships to bring championship experience. Clay can also help Green deal with defense in the playoffs. Meanwhile PJ-Washington is a better forward than Dillon, and Hardy is an excellent bench scorer.

Washington averaged 14.7 points and 7.87 rebounds per game this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 38.1%, and his reliability is no worse than Dillon. His contract is also entering his final season, so the Rockets can clear out 14.1 million in cap space tomorrow summer.

If this deal is reached, the Rockets' starting lineup for the new season: Van Vleet, Jaylen Green, Washington, Amen/Jia, Shin Kyung, Clay and Hardy are all on the Rockets' bench, then the Rockets' lineup depth will indeed be stronger.
