Vigorously cultivate 6 new people! No draft target? The Rockets plan is exposed, and Stone has a long-term vision

In order to overthrow and rebuild the team, the Rockets made a bold decision to send their star James Harden to the Nets. This transaction not only brought huge returns to the Rockets, including multiple first round signings and the right to swap future first round signings, but also changed the competition pattern of the entire league to some extent.

This year, the Rockets held a first round signature from the Basketball Nets, which now seems to be the ninth choice. However, the Rockets do not seem to be eager to cash in this valuable draft right as a rookie player. They already have a group of talented young players, such as Jay Green, Smith Junior and Shen Jing. These young players are gradually emerging as the hope of the future of the team.

Against this background, the general manager of the Rockets, Rafael Stone, communicated with the Nets and proposed a brilliant trading plan. The Rockets hope to return the Nets' signature to the Nets, and at the same time exchange for the Suns' future first round signature obtained by the Nets in Durant's trade. For the Rockets, this plan means that they will exchange their short-term draft right for a more long-term and potential future draft right.
Such a decision undoubtedly shows the foresight and strategy of the Rockets' management. They clearly realized that, although the draft right is an important way for the team to add new blood and enhance its strength, the more important thing is how to use these draft rights on the blade to lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the team.

For the Rockets, now is the critical moment to vigorously cultivate young players. They need to provide these young players with enough space and opportunities for growth, so that they can constantly hone their skills and accumulate experience in the game. In the future, the first round signing of the Suns will become an important chip for them to supplement their lineup and improve their strength.
In addition, such trading operation also shows the Rockets' keen insight into the league pattern. They clearly see that the Suns are very strong now, but they may go downhill in a few years, and their future draft right is undoubtedly of high value. Through this transaction, the Rockets can not only reserve more potential stocks for the future of the team, but also affect the competitive situation of the league to a certain extent.

Of course, such a trading scheme is not without risks. After all, there is a lot of uncertainty about the future draft right, and it is impossible to determine what players can be selected at that time. However, for the Rockets, they seem more willing to take such risks in exchange for greater potential and possibility.
It seems that the Rockets do not intend to use this year's Nets to sign for the draft, because they already have too many young players. The future goal of the Rockets is to train six new players. Manager Stone also has a long-term vision. A few years later, when all six new players of the Rockets have grown into players in their playing years, they will use the Suns draft right to add new players to the team.

The transaction between the Rockets and the Nets is undoubtedly a strategic decision. It not only reflects the Rockets' emphasis on and training of young players, but also shows their keen insight into the league structure and strategic layout. Through such transactions, the Rockets not only reserved more potential stocks for the future of the team, but also changed the competition pattern of the entire league to a certain extent. But it's hard to say whether the Nets will agree to such a deal.
