On January 22, Beijing time, according to the NBA's famous Shames report, after the completion of the "Harden deal", the Rockets reached another deal. They reached a deal with the Cavaliers and little Kevin Porter was sent to Space City.
Subsequently, the local Cleveland media "Sports" confirmed the news of the transaction, but the details of the transaction have not been announced yet.
But what is certain is that the Cavaliers didn’t want to add Kevin Porter to any deal, but Porter’s recent roar in the Cavaliers locker room has had a serious impact on the team, which made the Cavaliers management decide Send away the 20-year-old talented young man slowly. In the end, the Rockets who lost Harden accepted Porter.
This season, Porter averaged 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and averaged 23.2 minutes of playing time per game. Obviously, the Cavaliers also intend to cultivate this talented forward player, but Potter has no choice but to stage a "big show" in the locker room, and it is indeed a pity to be traded by the Cavaliers.
Porter is 1.93 meters tall. He is best at playing position 3, and he can also swing to position 2. For the Rockets, after they decide to rebuild, they really need such promising young people.
As for what kind of bargaining chip the Rockets gave in this transaction, there is no way to know at present, but the author believes that the Rockets got Potter in the transaction for another purpose.
Currently, the Rockets have put Oladipo on the trading shelf, and the Warriors, Heat, Celtics and Nuggets have all become potential next players. It is basically certain that Oladipo will leave Space City before the trade deadline in March, and if the Rockets get Porter from this transaction, there is a high probability that Porter will be used as a trading bonus, which will reduce Ola. The difficulty of the Dipo transaction can also be exchanged for better chips.
Of course, the Rockets may also plan to train Porter. After all, at the age of 20, they averaged 10+3+2 per game, and they are full of talent. What do you think of the Rockets getting Porter? Do you think the Rockets are preparing for the Oladipo deal?
