Is the league chaotic? The Rockets have the final say! Shams: There will be a lot of crazy trades this summer

On May 28, according to NBA reporter Shams, there will be many unexpected transactions this summer. For the Bucks, Lillard will be troubled by injuries most of next season, and the 31-year-old Antetokounmpo has not yet considered his future. In terms of the Sun, 37-year-old Durant has already had the idea of ​​leaving, and the Sun also hopes to rebuild, but their negotiations lack chips and the future is full of uncertainty. The Celtics have the double pressure of Tatum's injuries and huge luxury taxes, and they will definitely have some deals this summer. The Cavaliers will also face the luxury tax issue, and it may only be a matter of time before Allen and Garland leave the team.

In addition to these big sellers, the Spurs, Rockets, and Nets are all big buyers this summer. According to Shams, the Spurs hope to get Antetokounmpo or Kevin Durant this summer and partner with Vinban Yama on the front line. The Spurs have the No. 2 and No. 14 this year, as well as young people like Castle, Vassel and Sohan. Shams believes that Paul may not return to the Spurs this summer. The Rockets have the future first-round picks of many teams such as the Suns, Nets, Mavericks, and their 6 first-round picks in the next seven years, as well as 7 young players, which is the biggest uncertainty factor in the trading market. In fact, there is no clear yet on the Rockets management's attitude this summer, and whether they are ready to get one or two superstars.

The other buyer team is the Nets. The Nets received a large number of first-round picks in the deal to send Harden, Durant and Bridges away. Moreover, the Nets have a cap space of 60 million this summer, and Clarkston and Cameron Johnson are also resources that the team can trade. The Nets, who hold the No. 8 pick in 2025, may pursue an upward trade and get the No. 2 pick from the Spurs. In short, many transactions may occur on the day of the draft. Moreover, James and Harden both have player options this summer, and the two of them are not 100% going to stay in the team. All of this made the summer look crazy.
