Xu Media discusses potential transactions: Unwilling to send away the No. 10 sign, rejecting the core with KD, and not as good as Hauser when changing cards

After the article released by TA Rockets reporter Kelly Yi on June 4, it sparked doubts from Houston media and many Rockets reporters. They had a crazy discussion on social media, including Jackson Gatling, David Weiner, Chris White, Andrew Thorke, Robert Kimbell and others.

David Weiner said: If Durant is to be replaced, I think the Rockets are only willing to draw Dillon, Jabbarri Jr., Langdale, Holiday, and No. 10. This transaction cannot involve VanVleet, otherwise it will be meaningless to the Rockets. This is the most reasonable trading plan.

Rob Kimbell said: Even if the Rockets really want to trade Durant, it is not long-term to use it in the short term. If the timetable is discussed, his expiration contract can help the Rockets avoid entering the second luxury tax threshold next summer;

Jackson Gatling said: Many Rocket fans oppose trading Durant, and I feel very confused.

Some people think that the Rockets should trade with the Nets so that the Rockets can trade Cameron Johnson, the 3D wing, and the chip is Dillon.

Weiner responded: Dillon is our best pitcher, and if it is changed to a card, it is only a small upgrade.

David Weiner: If the Rockets want to improve their shooting, Green Kai's Hauser is a better choice. (The annual salary of 20 million+, and Hauser's annual salary of 10.04 million will avoid entering the luxury tax threshold too early)

Andrew Sopke: We can get back our first round pick in 2027 in some way, and we can also turn to the first round pick in 2030;

Chris White: I won't use the No. 10 to exchange the No. 19+ card contract. In order to face the luxury tax problem (renew multiple young players), this deal is meaningless. The Rockets can continue to choose rookies with the No. 10 pick;

Chris White: The Thunder selected Wallace with the No. 10 pick and Jaylen Williams with the No. 12 pick. We think we can also use the No. 10 pick to select the main players in the future playoffs.
