Previously, the US media reported that the Lakers and Heat were very interested in acquiring Mitchell. However, the Lakers are short of chips, and the Cavaliers' boss's price for Mitchell is a large number of first round draft rights and young stars. What's the use of a young Laker just like Xi Fei? At this point, the Lakers basically quit the competition. And Mitchell has two years left on his contract, and next year and another year is the player's option. In other words, the Cavaliers really felt that Mitchell could not be left. They had plenty of time to operate.
The Cavaliers have enough time to get a return before the trading deadline next year. Unless the Cavaliers can get an undeniable offer during the offseason, only the Heat can match the Cavaliers' offer at present. They can offer Hiro and several first round draft rights in the future, depending on whether Riley is willing to make a splash. But this chip is obviously not the best, because if the Rockets join the competition for Mitchell, the Heat's chip will be pushed to the ground and blasted. It was reported earlier that the Rockets might become Mitchell's dark horse.
Previously, the Rockets only acted in secret. Now, Kelly Iko, a reporter with the Rockets, directly showdown for the team. According to his understanding, the rocket has been following Mitchell for several months. Remember this year's regular season Rockets and Cavaliers battle? Udoka told Mitchell directly about the Rockets in the game. It may be from then on that the Rockets have been staring at Mitchell. But they have been very low-key and not exposed. This year, the Rockets' draft right of the Nets was taken to the third place. This may also be the reason why the Rockets started to take action. They have the chips.
Kelly Iko believes that no team in the whole league can compete with the Rockets if they make a move. Because their chips will make the knight unable to refuse.
Kelly Iko said: "The third sign of the Rockets is not necessarily for their own use. Now Stone is selling the third sign, and many teams already want to get it. So I think if the Rockets want to get Mitchell, it will not be difficult. Stone can send the third sign, and then with the Nets draft right, the Rockets can also send a young man. Mitchell, 27, we have been following him for months. Because Mitchell has not renewed his contract for a long time, he may be a little depressed about the team's failure in the playoffs this year, and the Cavaliers' talent is not good! "
The Cavaliers are Mobley and Garland. Allen in the fifth position is ready to leave. What's more, Garland is playing worse and worse, which is incompatible with Mitchell's style of play. In contrast, the Rockets are full of talent, but then again. If the Rockets really decide to Soha Mitchell, I think Jay Green is very dangerous. Because Mitchell is a point guard, even the Rockets will consider trading Van Jordan. Mitchell is 1.85 meters tall, and Van Jordan is too short in the backcourt. Maybe the Rockets will consider persuading Harden to come back and replace Mitchell. This is the backcourt of Harden and Mitchell. It's OK to be strong.
The current Harden can no longer be used as the top C of the team. His aging and declining status can only serve as an assistant. Occasionally, he can perform at the peak, but more often, he can only serve as an assistant. Compared with the peak, the CD cooling time of Harden is too long now. Mitchell is the perfect attacker. He is already the first point guard in the league. Mitchell scored 50 points and 30 points for six times in this playoff. The field average was 29.6 points, and the shooting rate was 47.6%. Leonard has become a glass man who can't play in the playoffs. George wants to leave the Clippers again. Harden is now in an awkward position.
If the Rockets get Mitchell, Harden will definitely want to go back. In addition, Harden is completely free. He can entrust Clippers to sign first and then change. The Rockets send Van Jordan and a first round signing. Once the Rockets set up Harden and Mitchell backcourt, talent can compete for the championship. The Rockets have Shen Jing and Adam Slandard in position 5, and Ethan and Smith in position 4 can also play. Dillon in the third position and White Devil Whitmore can serve as the backup point guard. Amen Thompson can be a substitute point guard for Harden. So the Rockets will either stay put. Once Sokhamitchell, the lineup will change greatly.
