The NBA Rockets strengthened their competitiveness to lock in the Bucks' "alphabet brother", but the price to pay was not small

The second seed in the NBA West this season, the Rockets, who are now out of the playoffs, are bound to strengthen their competitiveness through transactions, American media reported on the 16th that the Rockets locked the Bucks "alphabet brother" Antetokounmpo, but I am afraid that they will have to take the 2021 draft list (Jalen Green) to meet the Bucks.

The Rockets played 52-30 in the regular season this season and advanced to the playoffs with the second place in the West, but were eliminated after seven fierce battles with the Warriors in the first round.

NBC Sports reporter Herring pointed out that the Rockets offered to trade Shin Kyung as the main bargaining chip to the Bucks. Shin averaged 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game in the regular season.

In addition to putting Shin on the trade list, the Rockets also intend to trade Jabari Smith Jr. and multiple first-round picks. However, it is definitely not an easy task to trade Antetokounmpo, the 2019 and 20 MVP winner from the Bucks.

The Bucks don't have much interest in Shen Jing, after all, their backcourt owner Lillard ruptured the tendon in his left foot in the first round of the playoffs, and the worst thing next season is to be reimbursed for the whole season, so the backcourt must be rebuilt, and naturally want Green, who is only 23 years old, as the cornerstone of the future team.
