The latest trading plan is released,The U.S. media suggested that the Rockets package and send Jalen Green + Dillon Brooks + the No. 10 pick in the first round this year to exchange Jaylen Brown from Green Kai.
Jalen Green was expected to have high hopes in this year's playoffs but performed an absolute disaster, averaging only 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, and shooting 37.2%, 29.5% and 66.7% from three, resulting in the Rockets, who are ranked second in the West, being blackened by the Warriors and becoming a big laughing stock in the league.
The guy signed a three-year, $106 million contract extension with the Rockets last summer, with annual salaries of $33.33 million, $36 million and $36 million over the next three seasons, respectively.
Due to the first-round exit of the playoffs, the Rockets have the determination to seek a trade for a supergiant this summer offseason, and Durant are both popular targets, but Jaylen Brown may not be bad, after all, he is a 24-year FMVP winner, and he is also a star who has already proven himself in the high-end game and is only 28 years old.
Throughout this year's playoffs, Jaylen Brown played with a partial meniscus tear, averaging 22.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 44.1%, 33.3% and 75.8% from three.
As for why Green Kai had the idea of trading Jaylen Brown? Quite simply, in order to alleviate operational pressure and save money, the team's salary + luxury tax expenditure for the 25-26 season may exceed $500 million, and this buddy's annual salary next season is as high as $53.14 million, and the next three seasons will total about $180 million.
However, at present, the "Green Kai trade Jaylen Brown" is still in the stage of small rumors, and the most likely ones to sell are Holiday ($32.4 million annual salary next season) and Platinum ($30.73 million).
