Jalen Green is adamant about improving his playoff performance and remaining with the Houston Rockets. Coming off a disappointing playoff run where he averaged just 13.3 points per game, a stark contrast to his regular season average of 21.0 points, Green appears motivated to address these struggles. His name has been floated in trade talks, particularly in connection with Kevin Durant, but sources indicate he is committed to the Rockets, especially if no trade materializes.

Green's regular season performance helped propel the Rockets to a commendable 52-30 record, underlining his potential. However, he faces pressure to elevate his game in high-stakes situations. Should Durant's situation resolve in favor of remaining with the Nets, Green will have an opportunity to solidify his role in Houston as they aim for a deeper playoff run next season.
