According to the US media "NBA Analysis" reported that the Rockets and Pistons two teams are expected to discuss a 2-for-1 trade offer before the trade deadline, if the negotiations go smoothly Jaylen - Green and Cunningham is expected to swap owners, the specific deal plan is: the Rockets send Jaylen - Green +2024 Nets first round pick to get the Pistons Cade - Cunningham. It is worth mentioning that Cunningham and Jaylen Green are rookies of the same year, and they entered the league as the first draft and the second draft respectively. The Rockets had hoped to use the No. 2 pick up the trade Dede Cunningham, but was rejected by the Pistons, if the deal is reached, the Rockets are expected to continue with the No. 1 point guard.

The Pistons have just two wins so far this season, and the team has suffered 25 straight losses, moving closer to the longest losing streak in history at 26. Although the Pistons' record is bad, but as the first pick Cunningham, this season can contribute 22+7+4 data per game for the Pistons. From the technical characteristics of Cunningham is a scoring assist ability and repair of the double ability. His playmaking ability and offensive consistency are better than Jaylen Green's. The Rockets have been hoping to upgrade the team's backcourt with Jaylen Green as full, and if Cunningham comes to the Rockets team's offensive efficiency and organizational efficiency will be greatly improved.

For the Pistons, who have a poor record, they have firmly occupied the position of the league's vice president and are directly directed to the first draft pick next season. The Pistons did not find a qualified mentor for Cunningham. The Pistons lack an experienced veteran to push Cunningham's development. And the Rockets this year through the trade to acquire champion point guard Van Vleet, as well as Jeff Green such as the veteran. These veterans with championship experience know how to help young people with potential grow. Therefore, once the transaction is completed, it will also be of great help to Cunningham's future development. From the overall strength point of view, the Pistons still can not get rid of the image of the fish team in recent years, and the Rockets have basically completed the reconstruction, with the strength of the impact of the playoffs. This is also an important factor in attracting Cunningham to join the rockets.

The Pistons traded Cunningham for No. 2 overall, Jaylen Green and a first-round draft pick to lay the foundation for future rebuilding. Personally, as rookies of the same year, Cunningham and Jaylen Green have not proved their value through performance in recent seasons. However, from the perspective of personal comprehensive ability and stability, as the number one pick Cunningham is still higher than Jaylen Green. And he will have more room for future development than Jaylen Green, so this deal is definitely a sure win for the Rockets.
