Reject 86.9 million, the Rockets opportunity is here! US media shows a 3-for-1 trading plan: Shepard replaces supernova

Kobe White was revealed to have refused to renew his contract for 4 years, $86.9 million, and the Rockets have a chance to find a bargain! When Van Jordan suffered a torn cruciate ligament, the US media "hoopshabit" posted a potential transaction plan for 3 to 1, and advised the Rockets to package Shepard for supernovel Kobe White.

Refused to 86.9 million for 4 years, according to Bulls reporter Joe Cowley, the contract year, Kobe White has made a clear statement to the Bulls that he will not sign any early contract renewal with the team this summer.

According to the rules of the league's veterans' early contract renewal, Kobe White can sign a four-year, $86.9 million contract with the Bulls this summer, which means Kobe White has rejected this fat contract.

Before Kobe White refused to renew his contract, reporter Jake Fischer revealed that Kobe White believed that he would win the All-Star in the new season, so he hoped to get a fat contract with an annual salary of 30 million yuan.

Combined with Kobe White's performance in the 24-25 season, it is not difficult to understand why he refused to have a 4-year, $86.9 million deal and is determined to hit the All-Star in the new season.

In the 24-25 season, Kobe White seized the opportunity to successfully complete the transformation, and averaged 20.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 0.9 steals in the game, scoring a career high.

Unless White can go further in the new season, judging by the talent and ceiling he has shown so far and the Bulls' crowded back line, it will be difficult for him to get a high salary of 30 million from the Bulls as he wishes.

Especially in the offseason, the Bulls signed the new backcourt nuclear Gidey with only $100 million in four years and four years, Kobe White's prospects for the Bulls are not optimistic.

Not to mention that the Bulls also have defenders such as Gidey, Trey Jones, Dosem, Jevin Carter and Kawamura Nagaki.

The Rockets' chance comes

In this case, Joe Cowley of "Chicago Sun-Times reporter" believes that the Rockets are most likely to be one of his potential next homes after White refuses to renew his contract.

As the big winner of the offseason, the Rockets suffered a heavy blow when the training camp began. Starting point guard Van Vleet had a torn cruciate ligament. Even if the recovery effect was ideal, it would take until Van Jordan could return in the playoffs.

plus the Rockets' cap space is locked. Before December 15, the Rockets can only fill the point guard rotation vacancy by tapping internal potential. Both young players, Amen and Shepard, have obvious shortcomings. If the problem cannot be solved at the beginning of the season, then White will be one of the reinforcement goals worth considering by the Rockets.

The US media showed a 3-for-1 transaction plan

For this reason, the US media "hoopshabit" also posted a 3-for-1 transaction plan, and advised the Rockets to bet on Shepard to pursue Kobe White. The potential trading plan is as follows: Kobe White;

Bulls get: Shepard + Okogie + 2029 first round swap.

Kobe White's actual market value is far less eye-catching than the data. From the overall offensive efficiency, White is just a 45% inefficient scorer, and his career shooting rate has never reached 50%, so the Bulls have a full possibility of trading him.

For the Rockets, the ideal situation is naturally that Amen and Shepard have made great progress, especially the 24-year show of Shepard. However, based on the actual situation, the greater possibility is that neither of them will be able to play the role of starting point guard for a long time, which can only allow Durant to share more organizational pressure.

If Shepard and Amen cannot play the starting point guard role and the Bulls are willing to accept such a plan, the Rockets have no reason not to bet on Kobe White, who can be used as a top transition point guard.
