Batum partnered with Durant? Rockets, Clippers and Knicks discuss a tripartite deal?

Rockets general manager Rafael Stone recently said in an interview with ESPN Houston Radio: "The Rockets are only three people participating in the trading discussion, and none of these three people will reveal anything about trading with the media, so those well-known reporters cannot talk to our executives. They are all lying." The player who is the least likely to be traded at the Rockets is Amen Thompson. Even though he struggled as a point guard in his rookie season, his all-round attributes and excellent defense ensure that Amen can stay on the court for a long time. Shepard faces the same problem, but he is only suitable for the role of point guard. Head coach Uduka will not sacrifice his record to train new players, which is not his coaching style. Therefore, Shepard can only conquer Uduka through significant progress in exchange for more playing time.

Recently, the US media "NBA Analysis Network" suggested that the Rockets, Clippers and Knicks teams will negotiate on a tripartite transaction offer at the beginning of the new season. If the negotiations go smoothly, French men's basketball legend Batum is expected to land on the Houston. Hexagon fighter Josh Hart will go to Los Angeles to assist Harden and Kat Jr. He is the confidant favorite of the former Knicks coach Thibodeau, but with Thibodeau being laid off, Hart's future in the Big Apple City has become confusing. The specific trading plan is: 1. The Rockets sent Jeff Green + the Bulls second round pick in 2026 + the Kings second round pick in 2029 + Batum gets Batum; 2. The Clippers sent Bogdanovic + Batum + Joshhart gets Joshhart in 2030; 3. The Knicks sent Josh Hart gets Bogdanovic + Jeff Green + 3 future second round picks.

The Clippers are determined to win the NBA championship in the 25-26 season. For this reason, general manager Trent Rayden has introduced many strong players including Bradley Bill, Chris Paul, John Collins, and Lopez. But whether the Clippers can dream come true depends on the performance of Leonard and Harden on the field. The Clippers' overall strength has increased by strengthening, but in addition to small cards, there is a lack of an all-round player. Joshhart is not only versatile but also durable. He ranked first in the league in playing time last season. He averaged 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.5 steals in 77 regular season games, representing the Knicks. He averaged 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and shot 25.5% from the field. Although he is only 1.93 meters tall and his skills are a bit rough, Hart's professional attitude is really admirable. He strives to compete for every rebound and 1/2 chance, and his ability to score second-rate points by rushing rebounds is the best in the league.

Hart can bring passion and vitality to the Clippers, share more playing time for Leonard, and reduce his potential for injury. Batum is a player that the Rockets management is willing to get. The contract amount is low and the contract duration is short, but as a substitute, his role is comparable to that of the main player. Batum hopes to win a championship ring at the end of his career, thus giving a perfect end to his career. After adding Durant, electric fans and Capela, the Rockets' overall strength has increased significantly, so they have a better chance to compete for the championship than the Clippers. Batum is 37 years old, and the winning window left for him will be closed soon, so he will cherish it very much. Hart's contract has expired in three years, and the Knicks management can create more operational space when he sends it away.
