Van Jordan replaced Maxi? Media commented on 6 and 2 plans! 4 reasons to get B score 1 reason Rockets should be cautious

Packing a lot of chips such as Van Jordan, first-round picks, betting on BMW Maxi? The media "spacecityscoop" commented on the potential trading plan for 6 to 2! 4 major reasons to give a B score, and 1 reason Rockets Stone should handle it with caution.

Van Jordan suffered a serious injury

With only 5 days left before the new season's preseason, the Rockets announced the 18-man training camp roster, starting point guard Van Jordan suffered a torn cruciate ligament.

Although he successfully underwent ligament repair surgery and Van Jordan himself posted a video on social media to vow to win the Rockets, the reality is that such a major injury will take a 9-12-month recovery period, and the new season will likely be reimbursed.

At the same time, as Van Jordan's former teammate Danny Green said, for a short guard like Van Jordan in his 30s, it is difficult to stay in shape and find a job after suffering such a serious injury. What's worse is that Van Jordan reached a two-year $50 million contract extension with the Rockets this summer, with the second year as the player option.

This means that Van Jordan will hold the potential transaction veto power brought by the contract in the new season, and the Rockets cannot directly deal with Van Jordan through the transaction.

and most of the potential trading chips in the Rockets lineup are signed this summer, and it will take until December 15 to be included in the trading discussion. The Rockets have to try to tap internal potential to solve the problem at the beginning of the season.

Amen and Shepard will obviously be the first choice for solving the problem, ideally the two will become qualified starting backcourt duo.

But as Adam Mares said, if the Rockets want to compete for the championship in the new season, they have to consider packaging Van Jordan and the draft pick to introduce another high-level defender after December 15.

US media sends 6-for-2 plans

For this reason, the US media "BR" also prepared a potential 6-for-2 reinforcement plan for the Rockets. The Rockets spent multiple first-round picks to introduce Maxi. The potential trading plan is as follows:

Rockets get: Maxi + round face;

76ers get: Van Jordan + Ethan + Shepard + Capela + 27-year Suns first round + 29-year first round (Rockets, Mavericks or Suns).

The proposal for this deal is based on the current situation of the two teams. In terms of ability, age and star level, the 76ers have no reason to send Maxi away, but in the face of the strict salary environment under the new regulations, the 76ers may have to give up.

Morten Stig Jensen of Yahoo Sports once published a long article analyzing the dilemma of the 76ers, pointing out that with two untraded premium contracts between Embiid and George, the 76ers could not rebuild the team around Maxi.

Turning down and rebuilding is almost the path the Sixers have to choose. They can only look forward to the draft to crack the team's dead end and explore the Maxi trading market to exchange for the first round return as much as possible.

Hugh Media 4 reasons to give a B score

Faced with such a deal, the Houcheng media "spacecityscoop" supports the Rockets' pursuit of Maxi and gives a good B score. The reason why Hsu Media supports this deal so much is mainly because Maxi meets the needs of the Rockets in four major aspects.

First point: If Shepard cannot fully realize his talent, the Rockets lack a long-term starting backcourt;

Second point: Maxi is already an All-Star player, and the BPM value of 3.1 in the 23-24 season is fully in line with the Rockets' reinforcement needs;

Third point: Maxi is only 24 years old and still has huge room for growth imagination;

Fourth point: Maxi is carrying a multi-year contract, and his average salary will be around $40 million in the next four years, which is not high in today's NBA. The reason why

did not receive a higher score is mainly because the Rockets have to pay too much in this transaction.

Although this trading plan is fair according to Maxi's transaction value, it also means that the Rockets will not have room to continue to move forward in the future after the transaction is completed.

Unless Amen and Shepard performed poorly as point guards at the beginning of the season, there is no need for the Rockets to rush to spend a lot of money to introduce Maxi, and they can wait patiently for the arrival of low-priced opportunities.
