Durant for Wiggins? Shero airborne Houston?

Recently, the NBA officially announced the preseason matchup list of each team. The Rockets, which is eye-catching, will usher in four games, with opponents being the Hawks, Jazz, Pelicans and Hawks. In the first game against the Hawks, Durant will make his debut with the Rockets. When people put all the attention on him, Shin Kyung and Amen Thompson are in a big improvement, and this pair of young internal and external partners are the hope of the Rockets' revival. General Manager Raphael Stone knows this truth well, so he is not in a hurry to provide Adu with a contract renewal. Even if the contract renewal negotiations between the two parties break down next summer and the latter leaves as a free agent, the Rockets can still use the freed $50 million in salary space to attract All-Star players to join. This is his trump card to grasp Durant.

Durant is about to be 37 years old, and it is an indisputable fact that his physical function has declined. Even on the offensive end, he can still rely on his static talent advantages and excellent shooting feel to support him, but on the defensive end, he has become the target of the opponent's focus and can only rely on his teammates to assist in defense and make up for the position. The Rockets ranked second in the West last season. Once the record in the new season shows a downward trend, Durant will be blamed, so it is not ruled out that the Rockets management will send him away. Recently, US media BR suggested that the Rockets consider sending Durant to Miami when Durant is unable to play his advantage. The superb shooting skills and the overly talented Wiggins will become trading chips. This is a 1-for-3 trading offer. The specific trading plan is: the Rockets send Kevin Durant to get Taylor Herro + Andrew Wiggins + the 2030 Heat first round pick.

Heat President Pat Riley has always been interested in getting Durant, and neither Shero nor Wiggins can meet Riley's requirements. Hiro is a quasi-All-star player. Although his data performance is acceptable, he lacks a variety of independent offensive methods. When his shot is strangled by the opponent, he is easily trapped in the misunderstanding of inefficient performance and cannot make up for the shortcomings of the offensive end through passing and defense. After losing the supervision of Curry and Dream Green, Wiggins seemed to have returned to the Timberwolves' health-preserving style. The internal and external combination of Durant and Adebayo is full of expectations. Coupled with the assistance of a group of powerful players such as Powell, Hax, Mitchell, Jovic, Rozier, and the stable and tough defensive system created by head coach Spoelstra, the Heat are expected to return to the playoffs. The premise of this deal is that Durant cannot help the Rockets improve their record. Herro is an upgraded version of Jaylen Green. Last season, he averaged 35.2 minutes per game, contributed 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%. He is more efficient in offense, good at playing off the ball, and seeks scoring opportunities through active running. This will allow the ball to be more controlled by VanVleet, Shin Kyung and Amen Thompson, and the Rockets' ball distribution will become more reasonable. Wiggins once proved how much energy he could show on the playoff stage. The Celtics' double-teamed children were in their peak period. He was not inferior to any player in terms of talent, and he could lock any forward line in terms of defense. As long as Wiggins could see hope of winning the championship, he would show all his potential.
