The Houston Rockets have recently come up in recent NBA trade rumors as they look to improve on last season's 52-win season. The Rockets have one of the better young nucleus  in the NBA, as they have drafted extremely well in recent years.

With the NBA’s 2025 draft lottery in the books, Illinois guard Kasparas Jakucionis is a popular early projection to the Rockets at No. 10 overall.

Even if Houston didn't have some of those hang-ups, Antetokounmpo would still be the best option. He is an unstoppable offensive force who could also enhance their length, athleticism and overall disruption on defense. He could emphasize their greatest strength while also shoring up their most glaring weakness.

The Rockets have the necessary pieces on the team to make a deal for a big star, and there are a few names on the table who could be in consideration. One name that was thrown out was Zion Williamson, but it seems like they're not interested in making a deal for him either.

The Houston Rockets received the No. 10 pick in the NBA Draft. Should they trade or focus on development of their team?

The Houston Rockets reportedly saw Jalen Green's struggles in his first trip to the NBA playoffs as a team problem rather than an individual issue, according to The Athletic's Kelly Iko and Sam Amick. Green, who posted 21.0 points per game during his fourth NBA season, averaged 13.3 points in seven playoff games against the Golden State Warriors.

The Houston Rockets won back-to-back NBA championships in 1994 and 1995. The Houston Rockets have made 35 trips to the playoffs in their franchise history. They have won two titles along the way. Let’s highlight both of their championship teams and the routes they took to win a title.

While Durant is reportedly “very interested” in playing in Houston, the Rockets have their doubts about acquiring the Phoenix Suns star — mostly due to his age, according to The Athletic.
