8 for 2, the Rockets empty the Raptors! Stone brewing big deal, Jeroen Green, Shen Jing become chips?

The Houston Rockets have lost to the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks, and their ninth place in the Western Conference is in jeopardy. Sun, Warriors are stepping up the pace of the two teams are catching up, the Rockets not only in the offensive performance is weak, rely on the survival of the defense also has a big problem, in the face of the Cavaliers and Hawks two games are lost in 130 points or more, coach Uduka helpless. Rockets fans in the loss to the Hawks after the game, mocking Jaylen - Green and Shin Jing, one can not attack, one can not prevent. The two players let Vanvleet, Dillon Brooks and Jabari Smith Jr. 's entire effort go to waste. Jaylen - Green's state continues to slump, and Shen Jing has become the weakest link from the Rockets' strong point on both sides of the ball.

Rockets general manager Stone missed the opportunity to choose Evan Mobley, was criticized by the Houston media, and Jaylen Green did not support Stone, he is afraid of following the footsteps of little Porter. Recently, the US media "NBA Analysis" suggested that the Rockets fully pursue the Raptors Siakam and Anunobi, they and van Vliet in the period of the Raptors have been teammates for many years, the tacit understanding between each other, if the Rockets can get these two players will pave the way for the playoffs. The media gave an 8-for-2 transaction offer, if the negotiations go well, the 2022 rookie Jaylen Green and Shen Jing will be sent to Toronto at the same time, the specific transaction plan is: The Rockets sent Jaylen Green + Alperon Shen Kyung + Cameron Whitmore + Jeff Green + Victor Oladipo + Joak Landale + the 2024 Nets first round pick + the 2026 Nets first round pick PASCAL Siakam +OG Anunobi from the Raptors.

Siakam, 29, from Cameroon, Africa, is at the peak of his career, averaging 21 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 34.5 minutes per game this season, while shooting 50.7 percent from the field. He was a two-time Eastern Conference All-Star and won the Most Improved Player award once. Strong team's physical quality, comprehensive technology, fierce style, energetic performance on the field is the most intuitive impression of Siakam left to fans. He and Van Vliet have been teammates in Toronto for seven seasons, they have won the NBA championship together, and experienced the rise and fall of the Raptors period together, the tacit understanding between each other is self-evident. When Shin Kyung was hit by opposing players in the paint, and when Jabari Smith Jr. was at a loss on the court, I wonder if Van Vleet was thinking of his old teammate, Siakam, an All-Star power forward with both offense and defense.

In addition, Anunobi's role can not be ignored, he is the league's steals king last season, this season averaged 33.1 minutes, can get 14.7 points, 4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1 steal, three-point shooting rate of 37.2%. After the departure of Nick Nurse, the new coach of the Raptors Rajakovic focused on the development of Scotty Barnes, which directly caused the decline of Siakam and Anunobi's tactical status. Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung and Barnes are rookies in the same year, and they are expected to establish a better understanding together. Because Siakam's contract is expiring, Anunobi has a player option next summer and he is likely to opt out. The Rockets paid a lot of money to get these two players, so unless general manager Stone gets Siakam and Anunobi guaranteed to re-sign, the Rockets will not make a loss on the deal.
