【年輕加便宜】火箭仍然對Jalen Green有信心 決定不再追求Devin Booker 精選

據The Athletic記者Sam Amick和Kelly Iko報導，火箭之前曾經對Devin Booker展現出濃厚的興趣，但據消息人士透露，他們已不再將這名太陽當家後衛視作潛在的交易對象。Sam Amick和Kelly Iko表示，火箭高層對Jalen Green仍然有信心，他比Devin Booker年輕5歲，而且未來三個賽季的薪水要便宜6600萬美金。同時，Devin Booker本賽季相對掙扎的表現也是火箭轉變想法的原因之一。

引用“The Rockets have previously held serious interest in the Suns’ Devin Booker, but team sources said that is no longer the case,” Amick and Iko wrote. “Not only do team officials still have faith in Jalen Green, who is five years younger than Booker and $66 million cheaper over the next three seasons, but also Booker’s struggles last season shifted the thinking on this front.”

當然，在Kevin Durant基本上確定會交易離隊的情況下，本來也很難想像太陽會通過交易放走Devin Booker。

本賽季Jalen Green在常規賽全勤，場均出戰32.9分鐘，可以貢獻21.0分、4.6個籃板、3.4次助攻、投籃命中率42.3%，三分命中率35.4%。季後賽首輪他場均出戰31.3分鐘，貢獻13.3分、5.4個籃板、2.9次助攻、投籃命中率37.2%，三分命中率29.5%。
