This transaction can be said to be a win-win result for both parties.
Bucks are the favourites to win the championship, but the competition in the East is fierce, Philadelphia and the Nets are in a hot state, and the bucks are stable after the ups and downs at the beginning of the season. But if the team wants to challenge them in the playoffs, it needs to continue to make adjustments in the lineup. The arrival of PJ- Tucker can obviously further improve the offensive defense of the Bucks, and his bottom corner three points can also be another offensive firepower point for the Bucks.
PJ Tucker can relieve the pressure of the letter brother on the defensive end, especially when Durant and Butler are involved. Tucker's defense will bring great help to the Bucks. Even if it can't be completely restricted, it can consume opponents to a certain extent.
As for the Rockets, they sent Tucker away as they wished, and they also got two players who could be rotated by the team. DJ Augustine is an excellent shooter. At present, the rocket's 3-point shooting is difficult, and a 3-point shooter is urgently needed to improve the outside firepower. Augustine averaged 13.2 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists in Magic last season, and hit 47% from three-pointers. This season, he is a little unaccustomed in the Bucks, averaging only 6.65,438+0 points, 65,438+0.4 rebounds and 3 assists, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 38.3%, but his shooting percentage has always been excellent.
DJ Wilson is a young inside player. He is the first round of the 20 17 season 17 show. This season, he averaged 3.6 points 2. 1 rebound and 35.7% three-point shooting percentage. His arrival will ease the inside crisis of the Rockets and improve their inside height.
Of course, the most wonderful thing about this deal is that the Rockets returned the first draft pick of the Bucks in 2022 to their opponents, but they got the unprotected first round in 2023. At the same time, they also got the draft pick of 202 1 with the Bucks.
202 1 This draft pick swap shows the shrewdness of Rafael Si Tong, the general manager of Rocket. Bucks are the favourites to win the championship. Obviously, it is impossible for the team to get the draft pick of 1-9, so it is almost certain that the Rockets will turn the second round into the first round bucks on 202 1.
After the details of the transaction were reported, Hugh reporter Alikhan Bijani praised on social media: The operation of the rocket management left a deep impression on people.
