Houston Rockets appears as one of the favorites to get the services of Giannis Antetokounmpo

when talking about rumors of transfer there are two teams that usually appear as potential destinations, Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder Why? Because they are two of the teams with more Draft Assets to exchange and, in addition, they have potential in their template to send as immediate return in an eventual transfer. Today, we review the first reports that indicate about a possible interest of Rockets by Giannis.

This possibility arises, in addition, because Giannis is at an age in which he already has enough experience to perform in moments of urgency, but it is not so old that then the project can be committed when leaving talent for an elderly star.

“If we combine Giannis’s world capacity with the trajectories of Ames Thompson and the other young role players of the squad, we will see a team that can compete with the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder, while retaining the necessary youth to boost it towards the next era of the NBA.” Logan Murdock, The Ringer.

What could they send and receive the Houston Rockets?

When walking along the scenario of an eventual transfer between the Houston Rockets and Milwaukee Bucks, different reports indicate that the most likely package for the Rockets to try the agreement is to send to:

• Alperen Şengün.
• Jalen Green.
• 3 first round of the NBA draft.

With this possible agreement, Houston Rockets would bring to a generational talent such as Giannis Antetokounmpo and, instead, he would send the Bucks to şengün who is just 22 years old and has already been All-Star, Jalen Green who is undoubted of the League and 3 Draft selections so that the Bucks have selections in the coming years after running out of the majority in Lillard’s transfer.

Other names that have sounded for Houston Rockets

In addition to Giannis Antetokounmpo that is said, it is the last player to appear in Houston Rockets folder, there is another name that has been raised in recent time, Kevin Durant. With him, the Rockets get a player who is over 15 years old dominating the League. However, his age is the big problem, since unlike Giannis who is 30 years old, KD is 36.

In this case, Houston Rockets would surely not have to leave Alperen şengün but instead the transfer would focus on Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore or Jabari Smith Jr. and Draft picks.

“With due respect for (Kevin Durant), Giannis would prepare Houston to be a factor in the West Conference during the next decade.”

Giannnis comes from falling into the first round of the east conference for the second consecutive year. However, the team’s breakdown cannot be attributed to him because during the playoffs he had numbers of:

• 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1 robbery and 1 block. These numbers got them in an average of 37 minutes.

His statistics show that he is a player who remains in force and that the bad performances of his team are due to more surrounded than to his poor performance. Therefore, an eventual arrival of Giannis to Houston Rockets could revolutionize the league completely and change its form immediately.
