I m interested in picking No. 10! Two teams may negotiate with the Rockets, Stone needs to consider chemical reactions

Judging from the current news, the Suns and the Nets are interested in the No. 10 signing in 2025, and these two teams may negotiate with the Rockets.

Let's take a look at the sun first. According to Houston reporter Kelly Aiko, the Suns wanted to get their No. 10 picks back. They called the Rockets multiple phone calls to promote Durant after the regular season and were willing to lower the price. Rockets general manager Stone is still hesitating.

Sun reporter John Gambadoro denied Kelly Eco's claim. He said the Suns have not communicated with the Rockets since February. The Suns have been busy determining the general manager and head coach for some time. The next step is that the Suns will start to focus on trading Durant.

Although the two reporters have different opinions, one thing is certain. That is, the Suns want to get their first round pick back from the Rockets, and the No. 10 draw is very attractive to them. So the Suns are likely to find the Rockets for trading negotiations.

In addition to the No. 10 draw, the US media FW previously believed that Dillon might become one of the bargaining chips for the Rockets to trade Durant. Sam Quinn, a reporter from CBS, said that it would be very cost-effective if the Rockets could exchange Jaylen Greene for Durant's 10th pick. But team reporter John Gambadoro believes that the Suns already have Booker and may not be very interested in Jaylen Green.

Let's take a look at the Nets. The Nets took their first round pick back from the Rockets through a trade and then rebuilded, but they ultimately failed to draw the No. 1 pick this year. Now the Nets plan to trade upward to improve their draft picks to accumulate talent.

The US media "NetsDaily" revealed that the Nets may intend to trade their No. 19 sign up for the lottery, and package Cameron Johnson and No. 19 signs to bid for the No. 9 sign in the Raptors or the No. 10 sign in the Rockets. If the deal is reached, the Nets will have two top 10 picks this year.

Durant is 2.11 meters tall at the age of 36. He plays 62 times this season, averages 26.6 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting percentage of 52.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 43%, free throw percentage of 83.9%, and his annual salary next season is US$53.28 million.

Johnson is 29 years old and is 0.3 meters tall. He has played 57 times this season, averaging 31.6 minutes per game to score 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists, shooting percentage of 47.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 39%, free throw shooting percentage of 89.3%, and an annual salary of 20.54 million US dollars next season.

The Rockets' two rumored targets, Durant and Johnson, have several similarities.

First, they all have good shooting ability, and the Rockets need outside firepower.

Second, their defense is average, and Rockets head coach Uduka attaches great importance to this aspect.

Third, they all have hidden dangers of injury and their attendance rate is not high.

Feltita once worked with Harden to promote the big deal of Paul plus the draft pick for Westbrook. The results were very bad later, and the Rockets entered the reconstruction period. Fertita became cautious after learning this lesson. In an interview recently, he did not agree with the idea of ​​breaking up the team and replacing the stars in this offseason.

When seeing the failure examples of the Suns and the Nets, Rockets general manager Stone must take into account chemical reaction factors when making transactions. In addition, players' age, injury factors, contract cost-effectiveness, etc. will also be considered by the Rockets management. The Nets and the Suns may be in a hurry, but the Rockets don’t need to hurry. They don’t have to make a deal with them.
