Paul George's contract renewal is still up in the air, and the teams of the league are also ready to move. Recently, the US media envisioned a deal, and George went to join the Rockets to help this promising team enter the playoffs. Will George go to the rocket? Will the express ship release people? All this is still unknown.
The news that George joined the Rockets is not groundless. He played 74 games in the regular season and 6 games in the playoffs this year. It seems that he has abandoned the annoying injuries. His contract renewal has not been finalized yet. Next year will be the player option of 48.78 million, and he will decide whether to jump out. After Leonard's contract was renewed by Clippers, there was no news about the renewal. Not only George and Harden (the Clippers' off-season is over, so we can start discussing his future), but also Tyren Lu is crying for food. The transfer rumors of these three finally began to appear in the league.
Lu was once again targeted by the Lakers, but he wanted to stay in the Clippers, so he was not on the Lakers' draft list; Harden was sent back to Thunder, or went to Bucks to join hands with Alphabet Brother. He didn't say whether he would stay on the Clippers for a long time, which is unknown at present; George is also full of rumors. It was said that he would return to his old club, the Pacers, but only if the Pacers were blocked out of Dongjue. But this morning, the Pacers had eliminated the Knicks 4-3 and successfully joined the Celtics in Dongjue. It seems that the door for George's return has been closed.
George joining the Rockets is the latest deal idea. The specific transaction content is as follows. The Clippers sent George, and the Rockets sent Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith and Adams, plus this year's exploratory visa. Among the three players sent out by the Rockets, Adams is a veteran. He injured the whole season last season. If he can keep healthy in the new season, it will be a great supplement to the Clippers' interior. In the Clippers' interior of the new season, Zubac can still stay, but Plumley and Tess can not stay. At this time, adding Adams is a powerful addition.
The biggest brand in this transaction is Smith Jr. In his second season, Smith averaged 13.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, shooting 45.4% and shooting 36.3%. He started 76 games in Houston this season. Little Smith is the main force in exchange with George. Although the two are not comparable now, who can accurately predict that Alexander is now ranked second in the MVP list and Thunder will be ranked first in the West this year?
George is also interesting. He has traded with promising future stars three times in his life. The first time was Little Sabonis and Oladibo (who were young players at that time), the second time was Alexander. This time, it was rare to catch up with Little Smith again?
Thompson is an addition to the deal, but the Clippers can not take him as an addition, but as one of the main force to accelerate his growth. As for the exploratory draw this year, considering that the overall level of rookies this year is relatively mediocre, the Clippers can continue to trade or keep it for their own use. Such a deal has relieved the pressure of salary for the Clippers, and at the same time, it has gained new strength. I wonder if the Clippers will be impressed?
George's joining the Rockets can effectively speed up the running in of the Rockets and prepare for the playoffs next season. Next season, George, together with Jay Green and Shen Jing, as well as Van Fritt, Dillon Brooks, Whitmore, Jessen Tate and Tarry Ethan, together with Udoka on the coaching seat, can make a difference in the west.
Now it's just uncertain that the Rockets are not a championship team, and George has not won the championship in his career. If he wants a team with the ability to compete for the championship to join, then the Rockets will certainly not be ranked on the top. But now the championship team has a complete lineup, and there is no shortage of George. If the Clippers trade George, it is a negation of the past few years, and it will bring the configuration of Leonard and George into order. Will the Clippers send George to the rocket?
