37 points and 9 assists! Durant still needs help, US media suggests the Rockets and Raptors make a deal

Durant recently talked about his frustration when he learned that the sun had put himself on the shelves in February this year.

In mid-February, the Suns were away by Houston, and Durant scored 37 points and 9 assists. After the game, he publicly expressed his goodwill to Rockets head coach Uduka, which aroused the imagination of the media and fans.

Durant said that he had worked with Uduka and knew that he was sincere and treated players equally. As a coach, such traits will win the respect of the players. He always thought Uduka would be a successful head coach and he did a great job with the Rockets.

Durant wants to come to the Rockets to play, and the Rockets also need him to solve the offensive problem. This summer, Uduka actively promoted the Rockets trading to get Durant, and later he got his wish.

Whitmore performed poorly in 2 of 10 shots, Jaylen Green made 8 of 21 shots, and both of them were later sent away by the trade. After that game, Durant publicly praised the Rockets for having many defensive players, and he named Ethan, Dillon, Amen and Tate. Among them, Dillon was sent away as a bargaining chip, and Tate successfully renewed his contract. The Rockets are currently working to finalize Ethan's early contract renewal.

Durant likes the Rockets' defensive system, which can relieve him of pressure. The Rockets continue to introduce strong players in the offseason to completely fill up the defense. Some American media believe that the Rockets' offensive firepower is still insufficient and Durant still needs help.

The US media clutchpoints recently suggested that the Rockets and the Raptors trade, and I got Ingram to relieve Durant of pressure. Which young player in the

The league looks the most like you? Durant once answered this question: Maybe I can't say that Ingram is young anymore. I think we have a similar figure and the areas where we score on the field are also similar. So I would say it was him.

Ingram is now 28 years old. He is 2.03 meters tall. He averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per 33 minutes last season, with a shooting percentage of 46.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.4%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 85.5%. Ingram can attack with the ball, have reliable three-pointers and mid-range shots, have comprehensive skills and strong scoring ability. He has been practicing hard during the offseason.

Last offseason, Houston reporter Kelly Iko revealed that the Pelicans wanted to trade Ingram for Alperen Sengon, and the Rockets were not interested in this. Later, the Pelicans sent Ingram to the Raptors, only for Bruce Brown, Olynick, a first-round pick and a second-round pick.

"clutchpoints" suggests that the Rockets take out chips: third center Capela, substitute forward Finney Smith, Tate, substitute guard Aaron Holiday, and draft picks.

In addition to Ingram, clutchpoints also set two signing targets for the Rockets, namely center Miles Turner and defender Dezontay Murray.

Turner was 29 years old and was 2.11 meters tall. Last season, he averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2 blockbusters per game in the regular season. He shot 48.1% from the field, 39.6% from three-point shooting percentage and 77.3% from free throws. He averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2 blockbusters in 29 minutes in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 48.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 34.4%, and a free throw percentage of 77.1%.

Turner can not only protect the frame but also shoot three points to open up space. In theory, his characteristics can be partnered with Sengong, and Uduka likes the double tower tactics.

Murray was 1.96 meters tall at the age of 29. He averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 2 steals per game last season, with a shooting percentage of 39.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 29.9%. His defensive and organizational abilities meet Uduka's requirements.

"clutchpoints" believes that the Rockets' lineup strength is still far from the Thunder, and the Nuggets are also a strong competitor. If there is a chance to upgrade the lineup, the Rockets who are determined to compete for the championship should not be spared.
