Houston Rockets Rumours

13 May 2025 13:46:47
Houston - Magic

Suggs for Green

Magic need more on the points side and Houston needs a replacement for PG with an improved 3-point shot.

14 May 2025 21:02:44
A big no from Orlando.

13 May 2025 08:05:27
1) Hou-Dal
Hou: A Davis
Dal: Green+Sheppard+Jabari smith+ #10 (K Jakucionis)

2)Dal-Bucks-Atl
Atl:Portis
Bucks: K Thompson
Dal: Niang+ 2rnd pick Atl 29+ 2rnd pick Bucks 31

3)Dal-Suns
Dal: B Beal+ 1rnd pick Utah 27 (or cleveland swap)
Suns: K Irving+ Naiji

Dal:
C:Gafford/Lively/Powell
PF:J smith/Washington
SF:C Flagg/Christie/C Martin
SG:Green/Beal:Hardy
PG:Shepppard/ Jakucionis

13 May 2025 13:43:47
Too much for Davis!
Atlanta gets a steal
#3 I could see happening.

08 May 2025 03:21:56
Cavs get: Tari Eason, Dyson Daniels, Reed Sheppard, Terrance Mann and '27 and '29 frp via Suns
Rockets get: Donovan Mitchell and Onyeka Okongwu
Hawks get: Alperen Sengun and Jock Landale
Pistons get: Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang and 2 2nds ('25 via Bucks, '27 via Nuggets)

Why?
Cleveland adds size and defense. They also save a ton of money.
Rockets add a superstar number one option and a good big man.
Hawks add a star big man who is a good fit next to Trae Young.
Pistons get some players who are familiar with Bickerstaff and some 2nds.

07 May 2025 02:19:40
Kings trade Derozan and Lyles

Rockets trade Jabari smith and Dillon brooks

Offense for rockets, defense and PF athletic for kings

07 May 2025 12:10:59
Easy no from the Rockets.

06 May 2025 08:29:24
Suns: F Van vleet+ return 25-27-29(or dallas swap)+ 2rnd pick 26 and 28
Bucks:Green+J smith+D Brooks+1rnd pick hou 28 and30
Hou:Giannis Antentokounmpo+D booker

C:Sengun
PF:Giannis
SF:Thompson
SG:Booker
PG:Sheppard

06 May 2025 15:21:56
Getting 2 superstars will require atleast Amen Thompson and Sengun.

05 May 2025 16:44:48
HOU retool

HOU/PHX

HOU get Devin Booker

PHX get Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr, Jock Landale, 3 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps

Assuming the trade happens when Green's contract extension kicks in

The Rockets get someone who can provide big baskets when needed, the Suns look to move on by getting young players. Durant and Beal next to be traded

Pg Vanvleet/Holiday
Sg Booker/Sheppard
Sf Brooks/Tate
Pf Thompson/Eason
Ce Sengun/Adams

05 May 2025 19:26:45
It's close in value, I think you'd need to add one of Sheppard or Eason to get Phoenix to bite. Those picks may not be too appealing to Phoenix since they'll likely be in the 20's.

06 May 2025 08:31:33
I think that's an overpay for Booker. Houston owns the Suns picks. They have no future without those picks, So phoenix should be happy if they can trade booker for those picks.

29 Apr 2025 23:25:58
Rockets - Hawks - Bucks

Rockets: Giannis & Trae
Hawks: Ja Green, Sheppard & 2 1sts from Rockets
Bucks: VanVleet, Sengun & 3 1sts from Rockets

Rockets new roster

Trae Young
Amen Thompson
Dillon Brooks
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jabari Smith Jr

30 Apr 2025 16:54:09
That's not close for Giannis.

05 May 2025 23:31:16
Bro is definitely a rockets fan.

29 Apr 2025 04:05:32
Rockets might go down as a weak number 2 seed against the Warriors. Easily, they lack a real number option:

Target: Giannis

Rockets: Giannis, Trent Jr
Bucks: Sengun, Sheppard, Landale, 3 1st round picks, 3 pick swaps

Would be an offer that is hard to beat, hate to lose Sengun but he looks lost in the playoffs. If he is not includes, Amen would be gone.
Note: if the trade happens before Sengun next season salary kicks in, Vanvleet's expiring would be included

Amen Thompson
Jalen Green
Dillon Brooks
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jabari Smith
- could be a dangerous team on both ends

Off the bench:
Trent Jr
Whitmore
Tate
Eason
Adams

06 Apr 2025 07:33:52
Suns; Sabonis, J.Green
Kings; Smith Jr., Brooks and Landale
Rockets; Durant

06 Apr 2025 17:21:55
I don't like this for the Kings. They should get more. Add Tari Eason and they say yes, I think.

23 Mar 2025 09:54:23
Suns rebuild

Suns/Rockets

Suns get Jabari Smith, Dillon Brooks, Reed Sheppard, Jock Landale & 2 1st round picks with protection

Rockets get Kevin Durant, 2 2nd round picks


Suns/Magic

Suns get Jalen Suggs, Tristan Da Silva, KCP, Mo Wagner (release), 2 1sts, 2 pick swaps

Magic get Devin Booker, Royce Oneale

Magic

Anthony/Black
Booker/Houstan
Wagner/Oneale
Banchero/Isaac
Carter/Bitadze

Rockets

Vanvleet/Holiday
Green/Whitmore
Thompson/Eason
Durant/Tate/Green
Sengun/Adams


Suns

Suggs/Jones
Sheppard/Allen
Dunn/Da Silva
Smith Jr/Ighodaro
Richards/Plumlee/Landale

- find ways to trade KCP & Beal and develop the young guys

09 Apr 2025 16:15:56
All the teams move in the correct direction with these deals. Maybe I would swap KCP for Isaac who is younger and on a better contract.

04 Mar 2025 07:18:00
Short term success and culter. LMAO

If you play Irving that heavy he will miss the most of the games.

Mavs will trade Durant

DAL Durant
PHX Gafford, Washington, Martin, Marshall, Powell, 1st

And try to survice the next season and to stay health in the playoffs 2026 but I think there will be another suprising team, Houston, OKC, Nicks or Boston to defeat them finally.

They can try again and trade afterwards Irving, Durant and Davis finally to some 1st and start new. Really?

29 Jan 2025 10:16:07
Fox wants out, HOU has the assets, SAC want to get young players & assets only, ORL needs guard scoring.

HOU gets Fox, J. Isaac

Fox/ Sheppard
J. Green/ A. Thompson
D. Brooks/
T. Eason/ J. Isaac
Sengun/ Adams

ORL gets F. VanVleet

FVV/ C. Anthony
Suggs/ G. Harris
Wagner/ KCP
Banchero/ M. Wagner/ DaSilva
Carter/ Bitadze

SAC gets JabariSmith, C. Whitmore, A. Black, C. Houstan + PHO 2027 pick

One young player in every position except center where they have Sabonis.

29 Jan 2025 15:57:45
Horrible for the Kings. Need to add at least 2 more firsts.

29 Jan 2025 17:14:57
I feel like Reed would be a necessity for Sacramento if Houston wanted Fox. Similar to SA and Castle.

Whitmore, Reed, salaries to match, and two firsts feels right.

29 Jan 2025 20:37:13
I think that's a great package for Sacramento. I just don't really like VanVleet for Orlando.

29 Jan 2025 20:37:55
And I don't think the Spurs give up Castle for Fox.

31 Jan 2025 19:20:09
If the headliner of the Fox return is Jabari Smith, there has to be a good number of firsts to justify the trade. That's why I don't like the proposal.

29 Jan 2025 02:00:46
Minnesota / Houston Trade

MIN receives:
Steven Adams
Jabari Smith jr
Jeff Green

HOU receives:
Julius Randle
Min 1st (Via Det)

Houston consolidates guys... ends the Jabari Smith JR experiment it seems like they want out of already... Get veteran bully in Randle while picking up a 1st

Minnesota dumps the randle contract while giving jabari a change of scenery... gives them flexibility to extend Reid and NAW

29 Jan 2025 20:39:30
Don't like it for Houston.

23 Jan 2025 14:26:03
Hou: D Booker
Bucks: F Van Vleet+ 1rnd pick Hou 25
Suns:D Lilliard+return 27 and 29 1rnd pick+ return 25 pick swap

23 Jan 2025 22:01:27
Bucks and Suns say no.

23 Jan 2025 10:17:00
GS rebuild

GS-Houston

GS- Fred VanVleet, Reed Sheppard, 4 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps

Houston- Stephen Curry

Curry-Holiday
Green-Thompson
Brooks-Tate
Smith Jr-Eason
Sengun-Adams


GS-Detroit

GS- Tobias Harris, Ron Holland & 1st round picks with protection

Detroit- Draymond Green, Gary Payton, 2nd round picks

Cunningham-Sasser
Ivey-Payton
Hardaway-Beasley
Green-Fontecchio
Duren-Stewart

GS gets plenty of picks and 2 young backcourt guys

23 Jan 2025 14:07:16
GSW is not giving up Curry without getting at least 2 proven and high potential young players. Sheppard is not that yet and a deal wont happen unless 2 of Eason, Amen, J. Green, Jabari Smith is included.

23 Jan 2025 23:24:58
hold TF up. Harris, Holland and a 1st for D. Green? hell to the NO.

24 Jan 2025 00:23:25
Add Eason and I think it's closer.

20 Jan 2025 08:51:06
1)GS-Memphis-Suns-Rockets
Golden state: K Durant
Memphis: Wiggins
Rockets: Kuminga
Suns: Tate+Payton+K Anderson+Clarke+Kennard+ 1rnd pick GS 25+27+ 1rnd pick Memphis 25+ return first round pick Phoenix 27


2)Suns-Bulls
Bulls: B Beal+ 1rnd pick Memphis and GS 25
Suns: L Ball+Vucevic


=> The Suns can target Giannis antentokounmpo in 26

21 Jan 2025 11:06:50
I get that Rockets are involved for Suns to take their pick back. But from Rockets perspective I do not get why they would want Kuminga that you have to pay this summer, given you have cost controlled Jabari Smith in this position.

08 Jan 2025 08:38:49
The Jimmy Butler saga so far

-Jimmy wants Phoenix & GS, doesnt want Memphis or Bucks who have shown interest in him

-GS prioritize size over him and unwilling to deal wiggins & kuminga for him
- Phoenix can match the salary by trading Beal (they will not trade either Booker or Durant ofcourse)
- Beal is willing to waive his no trade clause for Miami but the Heat dont want his contract
- No one might be willing to take Beal's contract (maybe only small market teams which Beal could turn down)
- Can trade him to Sixers for a reunion but need to give up PG (the Heat needs to approve if they want)
- Rockets and Mavs could push a trade but are they willing to destroy their Chemistry for this guy?
- Clippers can package Mann, Powell & others but Miami would want more

What do you guys think about this?

08 Jan 2025 14:29:20
As a Blazer fan, I think it’s hilarious. And I think they should “do right by Butler and send him to the team he wants, regardless of the return they get”. Pretty sure I heard those words on repeat for an entire summer from Heat fans.

09 Jan 2025 20:41:53
I think the Heat will end up disappointed with the return they get.

03 Jan 2025 05:13:45
MIA - GS

To MIA : Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, Kyle Anderson, 1st round pick + pick swap

To GS : Jimmy Butler, Josh Richardson

If Butler really force a trade, MIA should go for this package, those guys fit the Heat culture and are well fitted with Bam & Herro moving forward. They are getting nothing from PHX. HOU can beat this offer though

MIA

Rozier - Burks - Payton
Herro - Jacquez - Robinson
Wiggins - Highsmith
Kuminga - Jovic - Anderson
Adebayo - Ware - Love

23 Dec 2024 23:26:32
Hou: Fox
Sac:D Brooks+Sheppard+ 1rnd pick Phoe 25-27+ 1rnd pick Hou 28+ 1rnd pick 29 Dal or phoe.

24 Dec 2024 10:58:59
I don't see it for an all NBA caliber player in his prime.

25 Dec 2024 01:26:27
Probably have to add in one more high value young guy from Houston.

10 Dec 2024 14:48:34
Heat - Wizards - Rockets

Heat- Kuzma, Brooks, 2 1sts from Rockets, pick swap from Rockets

Herro Rozier
robinson highsmith
Brooks jacquez
Kuzma love
Bam Ware

Wiz- Whitmore, Tate, Londale & 1st from Rockets

Poole brogdon
Coulibaly davis george
Whitmore kispert
Sarr tate
Valanciunas londale

Rockets- Butler, richardson

Vanvleet holiday
Green sheppard
Butler richardson
Smith Tate
Sengun adams

10 Dec 2024 18:20:25
Wizards stealing so much value here. Kuzma is barely positive value.
