Arles's plan is to use Harris, Potter, Barton, Dodzil and Morris, as well as the first round of signing in 2022, the second round of signing in 2024 and the first round of signing in 2025 as chips, in exchange for Harden from the Rockets.
If the Nuggets make such an offer, the Rockets should really consider trading. Porter is not for sale in Nuggets, which is the future of the team, but Nuggets gambled on the future in order to make achievements now, which shows the sincerity of Nuggets.
In the future, Potter's template is McGrady. Porter can get 1 1.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists in the playoffs, and the shooting percentage of three-pointers 1.8 is 38.2%. Although Bohr's offensive skills are not perfect and his mind is not mature, Porter has a lot of room for growth, which has been fully recognized by the other 29 teams in the NBA.
Barton's and Harris's contracts both expire in 2022, but both are around150,000. If the rockets want to trade, it's much easier. Although Harris did not perform well in the playoffs, he was injured, which affected his play.
Morris and Dozier are potential stocks. The Nuggets have signed Dozl for 4 years and 5.6 million yuan. His future development trend is very amazing. Morris averaged 9. 1 point and 2.7 assists in the playoffs, which proved that he is a good player.
If the Rockets complete the deal, they can easily control the team's salary. They can trade Barton, whose contract is smaller and stronger, so the total salary will be reduced, and Shao Wei may be traded in the future. The rocket can just take Potter as the core.
After the Nuggets get Harden, they can maximize the strength of Harden and Jokic. Plus Murray, who is still on the rise, the Nuggets will have super strength. After the Nuggets complete this transaction, there will be fewer people on the team, and they will sign the appropriate role players in the market. If the Nuggets really want to bet on the Big Three, that means Grant and millsap will stay even if they pay the luxury tax. The Nuggets made a big bet for the championship, so they can't feel bad about the money.
For the Nuggets, 9 for 1 to get Harden has nothing to lose. They are betting on their own chips, and this bet is really possible. Harden has been selected as the best team for four consecutive years. This season, you can get 34.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists 1.8 steals, and both Harden and Jokic have excellent organization and coping ability, so it will be difficult for opponents to defend.
If the Rockets reject the Nuggets' offer, Nuggets can offer Bill, Porter and others with almost the same chips, but there will be no three draft picks. Maybe a pick wizard will be happy to agree to the Nuggets' offer, because there is still a gap between Harden and Bill, and Bill 1 is not worth the Nuggets' 9.
The problem with this deal is the Nuggets. I wonder if the Nuggets will give up Potter's future. For the Nuggets, if you want to win in the present, for the unpredictable potential stock like Potter in the future, you should give up, gamble to get Harden or Bill, and then form the Big Three to cooperate with the Lakers. In fact, as long as the Nuggets are willing to play Potter, the Wizards are willing to play Bill. After all, the Wizards are a team that is really ready to rebuild.
