Heat desperate, Butler or welcome two major helpers

Closer and closer to the opening of the new season, for some playoff teams, giving them less and less time to strengthen the lineup strength, look at the off season, the Heat in the strength of the lineup not into but regression, wing defensive lock PK Tucker ran to Philadelphia, teaming up with former good brothers Harden, the status of the Heat, Riley said, although our lineup strength is good, but the team has just experienced a disappointing The team has just experienced a disappointing season, we must take the initiative to think about how to improve, in addition to digging the potential of the team, we also need to make up the strength through trade.

Previously, the U.S. media broke the news that the Heat intends to get Mitchell, and Riley said, "If you can get him without breaking the bones, I would be very happy, but our team has been built for 3 years, I do not want to spend time to rebuild him, Butler is a good leader, and we have a wealth of veterans. Obviously, Riley doesn't want to risk a big trade to get Mitchell. And Riley's intentions are clear, unless they can get a Durant-level star, they will not put the team's future star, Tyler Silo, on the shelf, which also makes the Heat's trade difficult. However, if the new season opens with the current lineup, the Heat will remain a runner in the East, which is full of giants.

According to the U.S. media "Miami Herald" report, the Heat will not make heavy transactions, they decided to Butler, Silo, Bayonne, Lowery as the core to open the new season, in addition to mining the potential of the team, they will trade a quality wing to replace PK Tucker. And Riley has set his sights on Rockets guard Eric Gordon, and the Heat management intends to throw in the towel for Gordon. The list of offers prepared by Riley is as follows: 3-point shooter Duncan Robinson, Elmer Ute seven, Haywood High smith and a first-round pick in 2027; the Rockets, in turn, send Gordon and Martin Jr. So, how is this imperative deal officially announced and what does it mean for both teams?

First of all, we stand in the Heat's perspective to analyze, the reason why the Heat was beaten by the Celtics last season, the problem is on the outside, they lack a long shot stable, offensive and defensive wings, playoffs to the end, the fight is who has a big heart player, but the Heat side in addition to Butler and Forbade, who can not score; in addition, when Lowery is trapped in injury, it is difficult to play a good state Butler not only has to attack and defend but also has to hold the ball to link the team's offense, which obviously consumes Butler's physical ability greatly. And after PK Tucker left, the Heat lacked a point with the ability to change defense and stable shooting.

In this way, Gordon's arrival is very necessary. Gordon maintained good form last season, averaging 13.4 points per game, shooting 54.8% from two-point range and 41.2% from three, a high efficiency. In addition, Gordon's breakout stays very aggressive, ranking 3rd in the league in efficiency on the offensive glass last season, behind only Alphabet and Bronson. On the defensive end, Gordon contributes a lot as well, as he can rely on his strong body to post up opposing star guards and is no slouch against small forwards. At one point last season, Silas had Gordon as the point of attack from the point of possession to initiate the offense, and whether it was breakdowns or 3-point shooting, Gordon always made it feel solid.

In addition to this, Martin Jr. no longer has a place in the Rockets, the Rockets have a new star Barbaric Smith, Tarim Son to cultivate, Tate also got a contract extension, the need for stable playing time, Martin Jr. also recognized this, confessed that he would prefer to go to a team that can play and really need him. Martin Jr.'s physical talent and athleticism are good, in the game always keep the passion and energy, can play some foul shots, such a style of play is very suitable for the Heat's system, and he can also make up for the vacancy brought by the departure of PK Tucker. In general, although the loss of some assets, but the Heat in the case of not moving the foundation, the team's strength has been really reinforced.

For the Rockets, the departure of Gordon and Martin Jr. certainly frees up a lot of playing time and ball possessions for the youngsters. And the 25-year-old Seventeen, a center from Turkey who made a name for himself by scoring 91 points and 28 rebounds in a U18 game, is a center with very distinct strengths and weaknesses, with the advantage of being a kaleidoscope on offense, a big threat to the basket, and a handful of mid range shots and 3, but a serious deficit against on the defensive end. And this type of interior has been the Rockets like functional personnel, plus the Rockets next season in the five can use only Shen Jung, Ute seven can be as some supplement to get playing time.

Duncan Robinson's long-term contract may be a burden for the Rockets, however, the Rockets to end the rebuild next year, when they may trade to get some star players, and Deng Lou can be part of the trade chips, in addition, Deng Lu's 3-point ability is very strong, can bring offensive space for the team, the Rockets can also keep Deng Lou, as the team's impact on the playoffs ready to play. The Heat's 2027 first-round pick could be a high draft pick that could also be a bargaining chip for the Rockets to trade in the future. The Rockets aren't losing out on the whole.

The Heat's desperate bid to get Gordon and Martin Jr. is bound to be a sure thing. And the Rockets are also stockpiling assets for next year's big deal.
