The Houston Rockets' roster might not be quite set for the 2024-25 NBA season. Sure, the majority of the offseason has blown by and the next step in the league's calendar is training camp. But a trade to land a star forward might be too much for Houston to resist.
However, Houston wants to expedite the process to get into the postseason -- which will more than likely see them split up some of their young core to bring in more win-now talents. One player the club can target is New York Knicks star forward Julius Randle. The Knicks added OG Anunoby during the regular season a year ago, and acquired Mikal Bridges this offseason. Add in Jalen Brunson and Dante DiVincenzo and the team doesn't necessarily need Randle's services if they want to try and maintain flexibility.
