: As the 2025 NBA offseason approaches, teams are increasingly active in the trading market. Recently, there have been constant rumors about the trade of Houston Rockets young guard Jalen Green . His name frequently appears in various potential trade plans, and he was even once compared with top league stars such as Kevin Durant.

It is reported that Jalen Green has signed a three-year, $ 105 million contract extension with the Rockets, which will take effect from the 2025-26 season. This season, he will receive a salary of $12.48 million, and the signing of this "100 million yuan contract" also shows that the team management is highly optimistic about his future.

In the 2024-25 season, Green's performance was remarkable. He played in all 82 regular season games, averaging 32.9 minutes per game, contributing 21 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists . His shooting percentage reached 42.3%, his three-point shooting percentage was 35.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 81.3%. In the Rockets' young core lineup, Green's scoring ability and ball-holding offensive value are particularly outstanding, showing his potential as the future cornerstone of the team.

However, Green also exposed some problems in his first playoff appearance. In 7 playoff games, he averaged only 13.3 points per game, his shooting percentage dropped to 37.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 29.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was only 66.7%. Under the intensity and rhythm of the playoffs, the 22-year-old young guard obviously needs more experience and adjustments.

Facing the outside world's doubts about his performance and the pressure brought by trade rumors, Jalen Green did not choose to avoid it. According to insiders, Green is currently focusing on improving his training, especially strengthening his stable output under the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs. He himself said that the trust given by the Rockets means a lot to him, and he hopes to play in Houston for a long time and bring real breakthroughs to the team.

Regardless of whether the Rockets will reorganize or make further trades in the future, Jalen Green's growth trajectory is still worth looking forward to. Just as superstars such as Jordan and Kobe have also experienced lows, the mentality and efforts shown by young players when faced with challenges often determine whether they can truly achieve transformation.
