Rockets focus on young core but show interest in Devin Booker ahead of trade deadline

bleacherreport.com February 4, 2025, 11:00 PM UTC

The Houston Rockets are not looking to trade their young players ahead of the NBA trade deadline, except for Devin Booker. They are currently third in the Western Conference with a record of 32-17. The Rockets have a strong young core, including Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün, and have added experienced players like Fred VanVleet. They also hold valuable future draft picks. Houston's strategy resembles that of the Oklahoma City Thunder, focusing on developing their young talent while maintaining flexibility. They are unlikely to make significant trades unless a star player like Booker is available.
