Selected for the best defensive team! Kelly Iko: Rockets management will not send Amen to the Bucks

On May 23, the NBA officially announced the best defensive team of the season. Rockets guard Amen Thompson was selected for the All-Defensive Team. In addition to Amen Thompson, Hawks' Daniels, Cavaliers' Mobley, Thunder's Dort and Warriors's Green were also selected for the All-Defensive Team. This season, Amen Thompson played 69 regular season games, averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.3 blocks, and 2.4 fouls. After the league announced that Amen Thompson was selected for the best defensive team, Jaylen Green, the core of the team, then forwarded the news and sent his blessings.

According to NBA reporter Kurt Helin, the Rockets intend to get Bucks forward Antetokounmpo through a trade this summer and are willing to send All-Star player Shin Kyung. Although Rockets general manager Stone said at the press conference at the end of the season, the Rockets have no untradeable players. But Rockets' reporter Kelly Iko revealed that the Rockets will not put Amen Thompson in the plan to trade Antetokounmpo. In addition, Eric Pincus reported that the Bucks planned to hold talks with Antetokounmpo this week, but Antetokounmpo unilaterally postponed the talks and is currently on vacation. Subsequently, the Bucks management sent a tryout invitation to the rookies who are expected to be in the top 8 picks this year. It is worth mentioning that the Bucks have no first-round draft pick this year.

ZT Binkley said that the Rockets will take absolute initiative in potential trades. The Rockets have three unprotected first-round picks for the Suns, as well as the first-round swap between the Nets and the Mavericks. Obviously, the Rockets also have 7 high-quality first-round rookies. This season, the Rockets have won the regular season record of No. 2 in the Western Conference, which are advantages that other teams cannot compete. All signs show that the collaboration between Antetokounmpo and the Rockets has become an inevitable event.
