The US media "NBACentel" selected the worst first team this season, with Jaylen Green on the list. Two former All-Stars were selected with Jaylen Green. George and Bill.

Before, there were fans who suggested that the Rockets exchange Jaylen Green for George or Bill, and Stone should have no interest in these two.

Obviously Jaylen Green would not be happy to be selected for the worst first team, and he had ambitious goals at the age of 19. He was very happy about the 2nd pick in the 2021 draft. Jaylen Green said in an interview at the time: My goal is to win the best rookie, and I also want to enter the All-Star, enter the best defensive lineup, and get a maximum salary contract.

The Rockets' choice of Jaylen Green has caused some doubts. At that time, some fans thought Jaylen Green was a rough and might not meet expectations, and the Rockets should choose Mobley. Jaylen Green said: In a few years they will say that the Rockets chose me as a great choice.

missed the best rookie, failed to get the maximum salary contract, missed the All-Star, and now missed the best defensive lineup, Jaylen Green is the big four.

Amen became the youngest player in the defense team in the history of the team. The Rockets officials, teammates and fans congratulated him. Some fans found Jaylen Green's bold words back then, and the latter became a joke. Many fans who originally supported Jaylen Green turned against him, and the general manager Stone, who chose him, was also criticized for being badly criticized.

Alperen Sengong has achieved his All-Star wish. He is considered the Rockets' best player at present and the core of the team's offense. Amen is deeply loved by Uduka. His defense has reached the top level in the league and he has the opportunity to become a super giant in the future. Jaylen Green has been listed on the first place in the tradable list by many Rockets fans.

Although many Houston fans hope Jaylen Green has finished his last game with the Rockets, they are not the general manager of the team. Jaylen Green's stay or leave is in the hands of the team's management, not the fans.

The Rockets ended their play and entered the second phase of reconstruction, and they have achieved their small goal of returning to the playoffs. The Rockets' big goal is to compete for the championship, and they must be prepared for both now.

First, looking for opportunities to trade to get a top player.

Second, if there is no suitable opportunity, keep the current lineup and make minor repairs.

Rockets general manager Stone recently accepted an interview with Houston team reporter Vanessa Richardson. Stone said he wanted to build a championship team. The Rockets are still far from this target. The Rockets need to use this offseason to get better and will not rule out the possibility of getting a top player by removing the trade.

Stone also said that the possibility of trading the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 was not ruled out, but he eventually held a draft and brought Jaylen Green, Smith Jr., Amen and Shepard back to Houston.

Instead of making complex and risky big deals, Stone, who is conservative and lacks connections, seems to be more willing to improve the team's strength by cultivating young players.

Stone said: I promise that the Rockets will not completely dismantle the team. At this stage, young players will have more opportunities than veterans. They just experienced a fierce playoff round and gained experience and lessons. The Rockets' young players need to make up for their shortcomings and strengthen their advantages through this offseason.
