রকেটস ফ্রেডকে বিক্রি করবে না

সংখ্যা-গণনা-মানচিত্র

আমি 10+বছর NBA-এর stats-এর analytics-এ work-carry out korechi। Fred VanVleet-এর playoff metrics (18.7 points, 43% shooting, including 43.5% from three) dekhe amar ekta simulation lagbe na।

Rockets उन्हें trade नहीं करेंगे क्योंकि वे sentiment या stubborn नहीं हैं — data कहता है कि VanVleet के बिना high-leverage games में win probability में 12% drop होगा।

क्यों नहीं negotiation?

Ben Dubose Lock On Rockets पर confirm korechen: VanVleet trade talks में शामिल नहीं होगा। कारण? सिर्फ ‘untouchable’ होने से नहीं — team know his role is more than scoring.

He runs pick-and-roll with precision (PER 129 this postseason), defends multiple positions, and takes pressure off younger guards like Alperen Şengün during crunch time.

To trade him now would be like removing the engine from a Formula One car mid-season — theoretically possible, but catastrophically inefficient.

The Real Cost of ‘Quick Fixes’

There’s always pressure to flip assets before free agency or for draft capital. But let me remind you: this isn’t college ball where every player can be replaced like chess pieces.

VanVleet has played over 200 minutes in playoff series this year — averaging nearly 40 minutes per game while maintaining elite shot selection and decision-making under fatigue.

That kind of durability? It doesn’t come cheap… or easy.
