Rockets and Cavaliers are planning a 1-for-1 deal? It involves Jaylen Green and Garland

With the Thunder defeating the Nuggets in the tiebreak battle, all four teams entering the division final this season were generated. The Knicks, Pacers, Timberwolves and Thunder have not won the NBA championship in the past decade, so a team will eventually make history at the end of the season. Compared with the above four proud teams, the Rockets, ranked second in the West and the Cavaliers, the top in the East, have become background boards. The Rockets faced the Warriors led by Curry and Jimmy Butler in the first round of the playoffs. Although they fought to the tiebreak, they failed to stop the opponent's fierce offensive at the Toyota Center Arena at home. After the Cavaliers swept the Heat in the first round, they underestimated the enemy too much, and were eliminated by the Pacers 4-1 in the second round. Not long ago, the American media broke a transaction rumor, which was related to these two teams. Let’s take a look together.

Recently, Grant Hughes, a reporter from the US media "Open-On Stand", suggested that the Rockets and Cavaliers will negotiate a 1-for-1 trading offer in the offseason this summer. The targets of the transaction are Jaylen Green and Garland, who performed poorly in the playoffs. They are mainly responsible for the losses of their respective teams, so the two are also deeply involved in trading rumors. Especially for Rockets general manager Raphael Stone, the current lineup cannot solve the problem of weak offense. Jaylen Green's performance on the offensive end is not stable enough, and organizational squad and defense are not his strengths, so it is not surprising that he is placed on the trading shelves. The Cavaliers management faces the problem of overlapping positions between Mitchell and Garland. The specific trading plan is: the Rockets send Jaylen Green to get Darius Garland from the Cavaliers.

Garland is 25 years old, 1.85 meters tall, 1.95 meters in wingspan, and weighs 87 kg. He averaged 30.6 minutes per game this season, contributed 20.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals, and shot 40.1% from three-pointers. He is a point guard with flexible mobility, fast change speed and change style. He is good at using his skillful ball control technology and speed advantages to get rid of his opponents. He has the top level in both independent offense and organizational sequel. The negotiations for renewal of VanVleet and the Rockets were at a deadlock, and it was difficult for both sides to reach an agreement in a short period of time. Garland has improved the confidence of general manager Raphael Stone in the renewal negotiations. In addition, Garland's three-point shooting percentage has always remained at about 40%. His mid- and long-distance shooting ability can play a role in opening space above Jaylen Green and Van Jordan.

This trade is younger than Garland for the Cavaliers and his health is more reassuring. In the NBA's high-intensity physical confrontation and fierce competitive environment, it is extremely rare for players to maintain full attendance for two consecutive seasons, and Jaylen Green is the best among them. He can score 21 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists in his 32.8 minutes of playing time. He has shown his potential to be an All-Star, especially after strengthening his personal defensive ability and organizational tandem ability this season, Jaylen Green has become more versatile and his future is full of hope. In addition, Jaylen Green has been the starting shooting guard for four consecutive seasons with the Rockets, and he and Mitchell are more compatible.
