Before they move the lines and you lose your advantage and thank you prize picks for the sponsor mike check 1212 what’s going on everybody earlier today we uploaded a video that discussed how the Houston Rockets really desperately wanted to make a huge trade they have all of these assets all of these young

Players and they’ve made a huge improvement from last year to this year to start off the eme udoka era to give you an idea last year the Houston Rockets were the second worst team in the NBA in defensive rating they were the fourth worst team in the NBA in

Offensive rating and as a result there were a bunch of rumors as to how they were planning on improving their team of course you guys remember the James Harden rumors but eventually those were put to bed because well Paul George kind of finessed Jaylen green into saying he

Doesn’t know how he feels about such a trade happening there’s obviously been some links of James wanting to come back to the team I feel like at this point you’re the king of Houston like you got to go through this you got to go through being double team being triple team you

Know being the target every time you got to go through that and you bring on someone like James who’s such a a ball dominant player like that’s going to hinder your growth a little bit you know what I mean I regardless of how it can Elevate you on another level of him

Teaching you and you learning off of him I feel like for you you’ve already been through the fire so like let you continue to learn you know what I mean no I agree I think play both ways like you just said it could help int at the

Same time I didn’t really talk to him too much about the rumors and stuff like that I’m with you or and eventually the Houston Rockets decided to improve their team by bringing in very high-end role players to build a culture eventually deciding to bring in Fred Van Ved and

Dylan Brooks as their primary Acquisitions and to be honest to start out the season things worked out wonderfully they had a remarkable draft with Cam Whitmore and alond Thompson and the results were the Houston Rockets starting out the season as one of the biggest surprises in the NBA it was like

This perfect harmony and Symphony of established veteran players and talented young players that worked synergistically to put together a much improved product on the floor and currently their team is much more improved they are currently sixth in defensive rating in the NBA but they’re still at the bottom in offensive rating

So there are questions about how they can improve the team my last video I floated out how they were trying their absolute best to get Mel Bridges but in this article that Shams channa and Sam amck put out that I referenced in our previous video there is also mentioned

That the Rockets are also exploring the Center Market they’re looking to bolster their Rim protection according to those sources Houston is keeping tabs on Utah’s Kelly oin Atlanta’s Clint capella Chicago’s Andre Drummond and Portland’s Robert Williams III who has fans throughout the current coaching staff among others because Robert Williams III

Has familiarity with udoka now oka’s preference is not only to find another big man that can step in when alar and shenon is on the bench but one who could potentially play alongside him in certain lineups akin to Robert Williams and Al Horford during e may oka’s Lan

Season in Boston now what Houston can offer is expiring contracts like Victor Oladipo and Boba marjanovich or even longer term salary like Senator jock landale in addition to draft Capital such as second round picks to facilit itate a deal alternatively Jon Tate who League sources said is attracting

Interest from the likes of Boston and Phoenix is movable it seems like the Houston Rockets were able to succeed in accomplishing their mission because a COR Adrien wowski the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets successfully completed a trade that involves two individuals that used to be teammates with one another yes the Memphis

Grizzlies are trading Steven Adams to the Houston Rockets for Victor Oladipo and three second round picks immediately I know what you guys are thinking Mike what’s the big deal why would either side do this trade well in the case of the Memphis Grizzlies they’re officially in Cell mode there’s no reason for them

To be holding on to any of their players at all whatsoever at least none of their veterans that could essentially move the needle a little bit to help them contend and in this case Steven Adams was absolutely Expendable you might as well sell on him and get some second round

Picks in return in addition to creating more salary flexibility getting a bunch of second round picks which is also something that Adrien wowski discusses here the Memphis Grizzlies are creating more salary flexibility and draft assets around a 2024 off season where they’ll get a chance at a high Lottery Pick and

A chance to fortify a contender around johnar jiren Jackson Jr and Desmond Bane there is no question about it this year was a huge step back for the Memphis Grizzlies losing Dylan Brooks and tyus Jones ended up being a little bit too much for this team trying to bring in

Marcus Smart to fill in the void that Ty Jones would have left behind or trying to have him fill both voids of the defensive enforcer that Dylan Brooks was and the backup point guard or any type of guard that tus Jones was was a huge disaster Marcus Smart isn’t a primary

Ball handler that ended up making the Memphis Grizzlies significantly thinner once John morand came back things started to look good for the Memphis Grizzlies but this is clearly not the same team that they were two years ago that was capable of competing without johnar they need johnar in order order

To compete and now they’ve essentially punted on this season they’re tanking out the rest of the season and they’re hoping that they could get another nice lottery pick to pair with John Moran jiren Jackson Jr and Desmond Bane which is a remarkable core for the Houston Rockets Adrien wowski mentions that

They’ll get a healthy Steven Adams for the start of the 2024 to 2025 season to compliment alaran shenon at Center Adams has been one of the League’s best defensive and rebounding centers in recent years so pretty much just as the article stated the Houston Rockets wanted their version of Robert Williams

Or their version of Al Horford and they pretty much get it in stepen Adams a great veteran presence a great defensive-minded big and a guy that sets probably the the most brutal screens in the NBA the problem was recently he hasn’t been healthy Adams is expected to

Be recovered from the knee surgery that cost him the entire 2023 to 24 season the Rockets front office believes that Adams brings the toughness and Leadership that coach eme udoka craves for for his team and that he can still impact the game in a limited role behind

Shenon I also feel like Steven Adams and shenon might have the potential to be able to be played together so this is a great trade for the Houston Rockets I mean I give him an A+ whenever you could bring in a guy like step Adams to really

Place an emphasis on the type of culture you’re trying to build it’s a great trade is it a trade that’s going to win him a championship this year no but it is a trade that is going to instill philosophy in the Houston Rockets moving forward a veteran that slap the out

Of Jaylen green next time he tries to do this and a veteran that will help in the maturation of the Houston Rockets young Corp it also means that Steven Adams has officially reunited with Dylan Brooks for both sides I’m going to give this trade an A+ each side did what they

Needed to do and made a lot of sense for both sides I’m assuming that maybe the Rockets wanted a big man that that could impact the game sooner but in this case man Steven Adams brings so much more to the table than just defense and rebounding and is a great locker room

Guys so great trade for both sides let me know in the comments section down below what you guys think about all this man aside from that I’m your boy Mike I’m dropping our mic until our next upload
