The Houston Rockets must be doing something right given they apparently have a wealth of desirable assets that contending teams have been reported to covet. There are also some top players potentially holding some desires of their own to play the next stages of their career in Houston.
Outside of Green, it seems that each of their other draft picks might just be here to stay. Unfortunately for other teams, those players are the ones that provide the most value. Any trade involving Jalen Green would likely have to include one of either Tari Eason, Amen Thompson or Jabari Smith Jr. Jimmy Butler is one of the more intriguing options in the rumor mill for the Rockets. As a Tomball native, a return to Houston with a competitive team could be an attractive situation for a star who seems to have stopped shining as brightly in Miami.
