After a two-game winning streak at the beginning of January, the NBA Rockets suffered 4 games and 3 losses, which brought their record back to the bottom three in the Western Conference. The change made by James- Harden, that It doesn't seem to bring much improvement to the Rockets, and even due to some of Harden's actions on the court, this has made him more negative news. It seems that now he wants to go again! This is a bit of a retreat. If the Rockets and team are not ready to smash, then they can indeed consider starting a deal with Harden! The
Bucks are one of the teams that Harden originally hoped to join. Although the current Bucks have a winning rate of more than 60%, but if you want to win the championship, the current combat effectiveness of the Bucks team is estimated to be slightly worse. Some, after all, they don’t have a double super giant combination like the Lakers, Clippers, and Nets. If the Bucks can create a super giant combination of letter brother + Harden, this will inevitably increase their probability of winning, and in Beijing time On January 13, the US media "Spacecityscoop" drafted three plans for the Bucks to trade Harden. Why not take a look at these three plans?
Plan 3: Zhu-Holiday, Daluo, the first round of 2021, the first round of 2023 to trade Harden
This is a 4 for 1 plan, the main value of this plan is in Holiday and 2023 In the first round of the Bucks in 2015, Holiday’s averaging data this season so far is 14.6 points + 4.2 rebounds + 5 assists + 47.3% shooting rate + three-pointers and shooting rate 36%. Obviously such data cannot be compared with Kazakhstan. Deng is on the same level, but he wins by not occupying the ball, solid, and defensively. Holiday + Wall + Wood, this may be a more economical combination for the Rockets, plus the value of 2 first round picks, the Rockets Rebuilding can be achieved almost in an instant...
Harden + Antetokounmpo + Middleton, three-point line, mid-range shot, free throw line, the Bucks’ offense will have no dead ends, and they have two super free throw kings. The Deers can easily get their opponents into foul trouble. The biggest problem with this combination should be defense. If the Bucks have this combination, Antetokounmpo should go more on the defensive end. Harden has a history of NBA scorers. Level, Antetokounmpo has a DPOY-level defense. This is a fantasy combination comparable to Irving + Durant, isn't it?
Plan 2: Middleton, Donte Di Vincenzo, two first rounds to trade Harden
This is also a 4-for-1 plan, Middleton replaced Holiday’s position, Donte-Di Vincenzo topped the position of Los Angeles, the draft picks are the same two, Chris Middleton this season averaged 22.5 points + 6.7 rebounds + 5.6 assists + shooting rate 55.4% + three The shooting percentage is 49.2%. Di Vincenzo is a 23-year-old potential stock (bucks starter). He averaged 11 points + 3.6 rebounds + 2.5 assists + 46.4% shooting + three-point shooting this season. 46.3%...
Compared to plan 3, this should be a plan that Rockets fans prefer. Di Vincenzo and the draft pick bring very good potential to the Rockets. Wall+ Gordon+ Tucker + Middleton + Wood, this is actually more perfect than joining Holiday and Los Angeles, and the Bucks can keep Los Angeles in this plan, Holiday + Harden + Antetokounmpo + Los Angeles, This is actually a good combination. Holiday can cover up Harden’s defensive problems. Coupled with the existence of Antetokounmpo, the Bucks can have a better balance in the case of having double super giants. In short, plan 3 and plan 2. These two 4-for-1s are very good. The Rockets and Bucks have a chance to achieve a win-win situation.
Plan 1: Middleton + Holiday for Harden +
2 for 2 in the first round of 2022. In this plan, the Rockets may have personnel overflow problems, such as Gordon, Tucker, Wood, Cousins, Wow El, House, plus Middleton and Holiday, this two-for-two scheme will give the Rockets a solid 8-man rotation lineup. If they are lucky enough, they may even hope to win directly. The shortcomings of the 2021 championship are also obvious. These areHe is not a top-notch player. The Rockets do not have Popovich. In the Western Conference with so many super giants, it is uncertain whether Silas can play well.
This solution is very hurt for the Bucks. They will lose two cores directly. Harden and Di Vincenzo will have very weak backcourt defense. Antetokounmpo needs to do more, not sure about theirs. Can the offense fill in the lack of defense? In other words, the offense of this combination is very strong, but the defensive problem is very big. Compared with the first two programs, although this program can save the draft picks for the Bucks, For the Bucks' championship, that seems a bit unsatisfactory, right?
