Seeing these two transactions, the author, as a rocket fan, feels very embarrassed. If this deal comes true, the Rockets will simply exchange christian wood for the value of an all-star player, not only to gain young potential players, but also to win at least two first-round draft picks. I think it is absolutely impossible to accept this proposal as long as the general manager of Warriors is not stupid.
But then again, the explosion of these two unreliable trading schemes also has its objective reasons-
First of all, in the post-Harden era, the Rockets are undergoing drastic reconstruction under the leadership of general manager Si Tong, and there is an urgent need to accumulate a large number of talented young players and draft picks. Although Wiseman and Wiggins are labeled as high salaries and low abilities, they are still young and have potential to be tapped. Wiseman, in particular, is likely to be able to give full play to his talents and make up for the vacancy in the Rockets.
According to the report of salary expert Bobby Marks, the salary cap of NBA next season is expected to be $65,438 +0. 1.2 1 billion, while the total salary of Warriors next season will reach $65,438+67 million, so they need to pay luxury tax of $65,438+billion, and team player Thompson accounts for 30%. Wiggins earned it.
Under the pressure of huge salary and luxury tax, the Warriors either upgrade their lineup to win the championship, or try to deal with big contracts and reduce the salary pressure.
From the salary point of view, Wood's salary only needs more than $130,000, but he can contribute 2 1 9.2 rebounds10.2 blocks per game, which is the price of cabbage, and there are still two years left for such a high-quality contract. From a technical point of view, Wood can play inside and outside, and his ability to face the restricted area is outstanding. Whether he opens the inside singles or the outside to release space, he can be perfectly competent. With Green's combination of attack and defense, coupled with the containment of the Shanghai perimeter, the warriors' internal and external attacks will be more balanced. What's more, Wood is only 26 years old and is in the age of rising the ball. No matter from the strength or salary, he is very suitable for the Warriors.
Considering the needs of the two teams, I think the following scheme is feasible.
Golden State Warriors get: christian wood.
Houston Rockets got: James Wiseman, Kevin Rooney, 14 First round 202 1.
Warriors cut trees to improve salary flexibility. The rocket came second in 20 years, and this year it signed 14, each taking what he needed.
