Quickley partnered with Durant? The Rockets sent Van Jordan away?

Rockets' media meeting day was scheduled, Van Vreet was absent due to the ACL torn apart. Shepard said in an interview: "You never want to hear such news, which is too bad." Uduka admitted: "Van Jordan's personal experience, championship-level field experience, personal ability, basketball IQ and some high-quality traits are difficult to replicate." Shepard is the most mentioned player on the media meeting day. Although he performed poorly in the rookie season, no one doubted his talent and ability, but it only took some time to realize his talent. Does the Rockets management have the patience to wait for VanVleet's return? Or whether he can return to his state last season after his return is unknown. All of this will not be answered until the new season begins, and General Manager Raphael Stone will make the final choice.

VanVleet's former teammate Danny Green Green said in his podcast "Danny Green x Inside the Green Room": "I feel sad about his injury, but thankfully he was the first to get the contract extension. When a short guard who is less than six feet tall was seriously injured, the team could not predict how much his explosive power could recover, and he is already in his thirties." Recently, Dan Favale, a reporter from the US media "Open Stand", suggested that the Rockets management abandoned the seriously injured VanVleet and sent him back to his old club, the Raptors. Toronto is where his dream began, and there are too many good memories of him. The reporter provided a 3-for-1 trading offer to the Rockets and Raptors. If the negotiations go smoothly, Quickley is expected to land in Houston. The specific trading plan is: the Rockets send Fred VanVleet + Clint Capela + Emmanuel Quickley of the Raptors in the first round of the 2027 Suns.

Quickley is 26 years old, 1.88 meters tall, 2.03 meters in wingspan, and weighs 88 kilograms. He averaged 27.8 minutes per game last season, scoring 17.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists, and shooting percentage of 37.8% of the three-point shooting percentage. He is aggressive on the court, has a high basketball IQ, has outstanding on-court insight, is good at taking advantage of the opponent's defensive loopholes, and creates offensive space for himself. He is extremely efficient near the basket attack, often uses shots to score, and has strong physical control ability. The Raptors gave Quickley a chance to be reborn, and he was always difficult to get real reuse under Thibodeau, so he was sent to Toronto by the Knicks management. Quickley grew up as a starting point guard for the Raptors and received a five-year, $175 million contract.

Quickley is a point guard with stronger ability than Shepard at this stage, and there is no doubt that this is true. He has a stronger body and richer experience. Although he is often criticized for being independent and selfish, he has a strong sense of independent offensiveness and independent offensive ability, and his performance on the defensive end is not bad, which can make up for Van Vleet's vacancy. For the Raptors, the combination of Barnes, Quickley, Barrett and Ingram cannot lead the team to the playoffs, so General Manager Webster hopes to reshape the main structure, and Quickley and RJ will be victims. VanVleet's contract is shorter and his annual salary is cheaper. More importantly, he played for the Raptors for seven seasons and helped the team win the only championship trophy in team history, and Toronto fans are looking forward to his return.
