The Rockets and the Cavaliers are planning to trade 4 for 1? Jaylen Green is partnering with Mitchell?

After the Rockets finished their playoff journey, the biggest problem this summer has surfaced, with general manager Rafael Stone needing to decide whether to execute VanVleet's last year's contract of up to $44 million. The so-called opportunity and risk coexist. Renewing Van Jordan can allow him to stay in Houston for a long time, but his high annual salary and unstable performance have made the Rockets management hesitant. It is obvious that it is difficult for both sides to reach an agreement on the issue of renewal in a short period of time. General manager Rafael Stone needs to consider comprehensively based on the draft, transaction situation, and the early renewal of Jabbarri Smith and Tari Ethan. Fortunately, both sides have shown strong willingness to continue cooperation, and the situation is developing in a favorable direction, but it does not rule out that the Rockets management will send Van Jordan away.

Recently, Andy Bailey, a reporter from the US media "Open-Air Sports", suggested that the Rockets will make the Cavaliers star Mitchell the primary goal of signings this summer offseason. The ranking of the first in the Eastern Conference failed to help the Cavaliers go further in the playoffs, and the Pacers defeated head coach Atkinson's team with a mercury-like offense. Mitchell missed the championship again, and he was disappointed. Cleveland is a small city and James is the hero of the city. Mitchell cannot challenge James' status, so the possibility of him choosing to leave is not ruled out. The media provided a 4-for-1 trading offer to the Rockets and Cavaliers. If the negotiations go smoothly, Tari Ethan will be sent to Cleveland as a bargaining chip. The specific trading plan is: the Rockets send Jordan VanVleet + Tari Ethan + the 10th pick in 2025 + the 2028 Rockets' first round pick won Donovan Mitchell of the Cavaliers. The problem with this deal focuses on what Mitchell's replacement of VanVleet means for the Rockets. There is no doubt that Mitchell is the star of the Cavaliers. No one can challenge his core position. His average of 29.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.9 steals per game in the playoffs is a unique existence in the Cavaliers. Mitchell will still play the role of a star in the Rockets. His independent offensive ability is several levels higher than VanVleet, and the role of defense and organizational connection cannot be ignored. In addition, Mitchell's joining will greatly relieve Jay Green's pressure and prevent him from being double-teamed. When facing the No. 2 or No. 3 defensive players in the opponent's team, Jay Green's offensive efficiency is expected to be greatly improved.

For the Cavaliers, Mitchell's personal will will be the key to determining his stay or not. This deal seems to be that the Cavaliers' management is not at a disadvantage. Van Vleet is in his year of playing and has proved himself on the finals stage. He has rich experience in the competition and is good at seeking the final victory of the game through tough defense and team cooperation. 22-year-old Tari Ethan has all the prerequisites for growing into a top 3D. He has outstanding athletic talent and top defensive ability. He is often entrusted with important tasks by head coach Uduka, responsible for guarding the opponent's number one scorer on the outside. His joining can make up for the Cavaliers' weak ring in the small forward position. In addition, the Cavaliers' management has always had unique draft vision, with the league's best defensive players Evan Mobley and Garland. The two valuable first-round picks sent by the Rockets can help the Cavaliers management continue to Taobao in the draft.
