How latest Rockets reports are just MORE evidence of CONTROVERSIAL eventuality in Houston
With the NBA trade deadline quickly approaching this Thursday, several reports have recently surfaced about the Rockets' interest in making some more moves.
The Rockets traded for Steven Adams last week, but won't see any benefits from that deal until next season when Adams is healthy.
The name that's garnering the most attention recently, is Rockets guard Jalen Green. According to Yahoo Sports, Houston was willing to include Green in a trade for Nets wing Mikal Bridges. While the deal didn't get done, many executives across the league were surprised with the Rockets' willingness to deal the former No. 2 overall pick.
Be sure to watch the video above as we examine Green's trade value, if these reports lead us to believe Green will be dealt before the deadline, and much more!
