On October 14, Beijing time, the new season of NBA is getting closer and closer, and the movement in the free market has become much smaller, but the Rockets are still exploring the possibility of trading. The object involved is Martin Jr. He had previously intentionally left the Rockets, which also attracted the attention of Suns , Trail Blazers and Heat . US media NBA Analysis recommends that the Rockets and the Trail Blazers complete a 1-for-3 deal.
Specific trading plan is: the Rockets send Martin Jr., and get Jabbarry Walker from the Trail Blazers, 2 24-year second round picks (one Trail Blazers, one Hawks).
Martin Jr. has pretty good abilities. He played 79 games for the Rockets last season, averaging about 9 points and 4 rebounds per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.7%. He was originally willing to stay with the Rockets, but as the Rockets selected Smith and Ethan in this year's draft, his playing time has been further reduced, so it would be better to choose to leave.
Since Martin did not perform too strongly, it is still difficult to get a first-round pick, but it is also a good choice if he can get two second-round picks. As for Walker, he is the second round pick this year. Joining the Trail Blazers, Martin Jr. can also get some playing time. After all, there is no pressure on competition from the Rockets. The Rockets want to train young players. Smith, the No. 17th Show Ethan is obviously more worth training. Martin Jr.'s departure was also helpless. In addition to the new players, the Rockets also have veterans like , and Daboban inside.
makes the Rockets more determined to send Martin away, which must be Ethan's performance. In three preseason games, Ethan averaged 20.7 points and 10 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 64.1%, and averaged 5.3 offensive rebounds per game, ranking first in the league. I believe that no matter which team, I know who to choose to train. Ethan is tall and has long arms, and is a high-quality candidate in 3D. What is even more commendable is that his offensive ability is not weak at all, and he also has excellent rebounding sense. As long as Ethan continues this state in the new season, the starting position will soon be his.
