Stone packed Van Jordan and Shepard? Fox landed in Houston?

Durant must be someone who understands the traffic code. His exchanges with netizens have given the Rockets a higher exposure. Boss Fertitta has made a lot of money because of Durant's joining, and his effect on improving the box office is obvious. Adu said in an interview that exchanging comments with netizens is a good way to vent. Netizens also enjoy this process. After all, they are connecting with Hall of Fame players. My fans will also spend money to come to the Toyota Center Arena to watch me play. They even want to hug and shake hands with me. Rockets players all like Durant. His addition has significantly improved the Rockets' offensive efficiency. Shen Jing suffered fewer double-teams. Jabari Smith Jr. has gained more opportunities for mismatched singles. Shepard is also enjoying the space bonus brought by Durant. The Rockets have won two consecutive victories after defeating the Raptors and Nets, and Uduka's team is gradually getting back on track.

The Rockets' next opponent will be the Celtics who lack Tatum. Jaylen Brown's single-core team leadership has obvious disadvantages. The record of 2 wins and 3 losses is in line with the positioning of this team. The Celtics face the Rockets in back-to-back games, so if nothing else, Durant's team has great hopes of winning the third game. Recently, the US media "FW" suggested that the Rockets management bid for the Spurs' All-Star point guard Fox before the trade deadline. Wenbanyama led the team to an impressive record of 5 wins and 0 losses, and second place Dylan Harper showed great talent. The media called on the Spurs to give Harper enough training time, and sending Fox away will be on the agenda. This is a 4-for-1 trade offer. The specific trade plan is: the Rockets send Fred VanVleet + Reid Shepard + the 2027 Suns first-round pick + the 2028 Rockets first-round pick to get the Spurs' De'Aaron Fox.

Although Harper is young, Fox is not old either. The 27-year-old is in his prime. He averaged 37 minutes per game for the Kings last season, scoring 25 points, 5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.5 steals. It is no exaggeration to say that Fox's strength is at least one level higher than VanVleet, and he can provide more help to the Rockets. Fox is suffering from a hamstring strain and will be difficult to recover from the injury in a short period of time, but compared to Van Jordan, who is out for the season, Fox is obviously more able to help the Rockets. He is skilled in ball control, has quick breakthrough speed, is full of explosive power, can easily tear apart the opponent's defense, and has top-notch mid-range shooting ability. His addition can bring the Rockets back to the championship team.

Although the Spurs have an outstanding record this season, they still have a long way to go to become a championship-level team. It is better to take the opportunity to provide Harper with sufficient training time and starting opportunities. When VanVleet returns from injury next season, the Spurs' backcourt strength will become extremely terrifying, and then this team will have the best chance to compete for the championship. In addition, Shepard also needs time to prove himself. He can serve as Harper's substitute in San Antonio. Because the Spurs have no particularly capable point guards except Fox and Harper, who were sent to Houston, so Shepard can get more training opportunities than the Rockets. Finally, the Spurs management showed a unique vision in the draft. Last season's fourth pick, Castle, was awarded the Rookie of the Year. This season, Harper is still a strong contender for the best rookie. The two first-round picks sent by the Rockets can help the Spurs management continue to find treasures in the draft.
