The Rockets should not chase Antetokounmpo, and the right way to grab Edwards next year

Recently, news about the Rockets chasing Antetokounmpo again has come back. In fact, the Rockets should not break up the team and chase Antetokounmpo, and should wait to grab Edwards next year.

First of all, Antetokounmpo basically has no projection ability. Antetokounmpo is indeed a superstar, but he relies on his body to play and his shooting is quite poor.

Secondly, Edwards is younger and more suitable for the Rockets. Edwards is only 25 years old and is a shooting guard. If he joins the Rockets, he will just replace Jaylen Green's vacancy and start with two championships with Durant, Amen Thompson and Shin Kyung.

Finally, Amen Thompson's function overlaps with Antetokounmpo, so there is no need to spend a lot of money to introduce another "large Amen Thompson".

According to sources, Edwards is tired of this because the Timberwolves have been out of the Western Conference Finals for several consecutive seasons. If they cannot make a breakthrough next season, they are likely to consider leaving. At that time, the Rockets can seize the opportunity and go all out to win Edwards.

Starting next season, Edwards has four years left in the contract with about $202.45 million.
