Senator Ted Cruz is a big fan of the Rockets and he came up with a bold idea after seeing the latest announcement from the Nets. Cruz said the Rockets could consider taking over Irving, who is the core guard Houston currently needs.
Earlier, the Nets officially announced that Irving would not be able to play or train with the team if he did not get a vaccine for a day. General Manager Max said this is a difficult decision, but the Nets want to make sure that everyone works in the same direction. This team does not need part-time players.
Some American media have analyzed that Irving will be traded. A famous account bluntly said that Irving is not worth money, and the 76ers would not agree to use Simmons for single exchange.
Houston reporter Ben DuBose said that the Rockets can try 3 for 1 offer for Irving, round face boarding + house as a bargaining chip. The specific plan is for the Rockets to send out Eric Gordon , Danuel House , DJ Augustine, and get Kyrie Irving from the Nets.
Gordon , House and Augustine are all considered to be players outside the Rockets’ plan that can be traded.
Gordon is 32 years old, 1 meter 91, wingspan 2 meters 06, preseason played a game, 2 of 3 three points, 6 points, 2 assists, good condition. In order to protect his health, the Rockets arranged for him to take turns.
According to a number of Houston reporters, Gordon wants to go to a team that has a chance to win. Tucker came to Houston to play the game before and communicated with Gordon. I don't know if this will make the latter make up his mind to leave the team.
Gordon can play offense and defense in a healthy state,He said that he has found the shooting feel and will try to limit the opposing core guard. It can be said that Gordon is a perfect match for Harden. Many Nets fans hope that General Manager Max can trade the Rockets Super Sixth Man.
House is 28 years old, with a height of 1.98 meters and a wingspan of 2.03 meters. He averaged 2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in the preseason, and his shooting percentage was only 14.3%.
House can still contribute to the Nets if he concentrates on playing. According to previous statistics, he and Harden played together very efficiently. He has only one year left on his contract and his salary is 3.89 million U.S. dollars.
DJ-Augustin is 33 years old, with a height of 1.8 meters and a wingspan of 1.92 meters. He averaged 3 points and 1.3 assists per game in the preseason, and shot 40% from three points. Augustine has good organizational skills and three-pointers can be considered reliable. He still has a two-year contract with a guarantee of $7.33 million.
This 3-for-1 scheme can free up the Rockets to renew the marksman Brooks .
Ben DuBose also admitted that the Nets general manager Max is very shrewd. He may be dissatisfied with such chips and want to get more. The Nets will not agree to Owen changing Wall alone, whose salary is too high and there are potential injuries. The Nets need to be strengthened inside, and may ask for Wood.
Wood has played with Harden before and was praised by the latter. Wood, 26 years old, is 2 meters 08 and has a wingspan of 2.22 meters. He averaged 11.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1 block per game in the preseason. He has good rebounding ability, diverse offensive methods, certain frame protection ability, and value-added contract. Two years.
