Houston Rockets Rumours

28 Sep 2025 02:26:52
Kings offer same package they offered the warriors now to the rockets for Jabari smith. Monk and protected first..rockets now need guard help with van fleet injury

24 Sep 2025 21:03:54
Miami Heat: Dorian Finney-Smith, Steven Adams


Houston Rockets: Terry Rozier III

24 Sep 2025 23:23:14
Miami owes value. Finney Smith and Adams are important role players for Houston.

25 Sep 2025 00:34:33
Joke of the year candidate.

22 Sep 2025 23:18:14
Rockets - Celtics

Rockets get Derrick White, Sam Hauser

White-Holiday
Thompson-Sheppard-Hauser
Durant-Okogie-Green
Finney-Smith-Eason
Sengun-Adams-Capela

Hornets get Fred VanVleet (inj), Jabari Smith Jr & 2 1st round picks + pick swap
- next season

Vanvleet-Pritchard
Brown-Simons
Tatum-Shierman-Gonzales
Smith Jr-Walsh
Queta-Boucher-Tillman

23 Sep 2025 20:52:10
Love it for the Rockets. Not sure about Boston, the value seems fine but having to absorb FVV with such an expensive roster, don't know if they'd do it.

cle: Green+Finney smith+Richards+ return 1rnd pick Cle/Minny 27+ 1rnd pick Phoe 29 (or Dal Swap)

There are many who believe that Green is a negative contract. If that's true, this is a terrible return for Mitchell.

09 Sep 2025 02:16:26
This is an insulting offer. Green is a negative, the rest of the package is underwhelming. That Cavs pick is more than likely going to be in the late 20's.

27 Aug 2025 09:37:14
SAC-HOU

Sacramento receives: Eason, Adams

Houston receives: Monk, Raynaud

Sac depth:
Schroder / Carter
LaVine / Ellis / Davis
DeRozan / Clifford / McDermott
Murray / Eason / Saric / Jones
Sabonis / Adams / Eubanks

Hou depth:
VanVleet / Sheppard / Holiday
Thompson / Monk
Durant / Okogie / Tate
Smith / Finney-Smith / Green
Sengun / Capela / Raynaud

Not sure if Adams is immediately trade eligible. Kings may look to buy out Saric to add another PG.

19 Jul 2025 03:11:41
Houston Rockets to complete their offseason should sign both or either Malcolm Brogdon & Alec Burks for vet mins since they need backcourt depth


Vanvleet - Brogdon - Holiday
Thompson - Sheppard - Burks
Durant - DFS - Tate
Smith Jr - Eason - Green
Sengun - Capela - Adams

This is a 15 deep roster with mix of Vets and youth at each position

01 Jul 2025 20:46:38
The Bucks traded away Jrue Holiday for Dame Lillard, Jrue won another title before them, now they are waiving Dame to free up space to get Turner. Turner is a great fit but waiving Dame just like that while having around 14.5% of dead money on their cap space for several years is not the best decision for a franchise. Now watch out for Giannis to request a trade unless they are really in a serious contention mode as the season starts.

Meanwhile, several teams would be more than happy to sign Lillard and let him heal on their facilities.

Miami - obvious one
LA Clippers - home
Portland - the return
Celtics - let him and Tatum heal and compete in 2027
Minnesota - needing a point guard, they can afford to rest him up now and still win a lot of games
Phoenix - can use an allstar guard alongside Booker
Others: Kings, Warriors, Rockets

27 Jun 2025 13:56:15
rockets: D white+S Hauser
Spurs: F Van Vleet+J smith+ 1rnd pick 28 Bos
Bos:D Fox

28 Jun 2025 11:23:30
Not going to work financially for Boston.

27 Jun 2025 11:28:44
Rockets-Kings

Rockets acquire: Demar Derozan & future 1st round pick top 10 protected

Kings acquire: Jabari Smith Jr & Jock Landale


Before you click unbelievable, hear me out.
Not a blockbuster but can help both teams

The Rockets acquire another vet "star" who is healthy and can carry the old just in case Durant needs some load management. This also opens up big opportunity for Tari Eason to be the main man off the bench

VanVleet - Holiday
Derozan - Sheppard
Thompson - Whitmore
Durant - Eason - Green
Sengun - Adams
- can sign a vet PG and Wing

The Kings get a stretch big who can stretch the floor and play D to compliment both Sabonis and Murray. They gave up a protected 1st only if teams think the Derozan's value is low

Ellis - Carter
Lavine - Monk
Murray - Laravia
Smith Jr - Lyles
Sabonis - Valanciunas - Landale

28 Jun 2025 01:35:23
Like this for the kings.

28 Jun 2025 03:14:07
I like this for both. DeRozan is a great player even at his age, would be a great fit in Houston.

03 Jul 2025 00:57:04
Not bad.

27 Jun 2025 10:06:51

25 Jun 2025 08:26:56
Denver-Phoenix-Brooklyn

Denver acquire: Bradley Beal, 21st pick via Brooklyn
- Joker can make Beal great again, he is still a 20ppg SG that can help them in the playoffs

Murray
Beal
Braun
Gordon
Jokic

Phoenix acquire: Michael Porter Jr & 27th pick via Brooklyn
- Porter Jr can play the starting 4 for them, he still a bad contract but atleast better than Beal's

Brooklyn acquire: 10th pick via Phoenix from Houston, Zeke Nnaji, Dario Saric
- move up and get another lottery pick for taking money back

25 Jun 2025 07:24:34

This will destroy what the Rockets are doing. Dont be like Brooklyn please.

23 Jun 2025 10:53:10
No reason for Houston to want to be Philly.

23 Jun 2025 12:53:52
Nobody is trading for embiid to play 20 games then miss the entire playoffs with bad knees.

23 Jun 2025 19:37:05
I’m not sure I’d trade just Sengun for that.

23 Jun 2025 08:43:15

As great as Giannis is, that's bad for Houston.

24 Jun 2025 13:29:48
If I am the Bucks, I am taking that! Players are solid and young, while the phoenix pick could be in top 5.

22 Jun 2025 00:06:24
-Cavs get: Devin Vassell, Jabari Smith Jr, Tari Eason and 10th pick
-Spurs get: Donovan Mitchell
-Rockets get: Keldon Johnson and 2nd pick

Why?
-Cavs add size, depth and a draft pick.
-Spurs get a superstar in his prime.
-Rockets get the 2nd pick.

24 Jun 2025 22:48:58
?? spurs say no.

19 Jun 2025 02:10:48
Think kings taking on older players doesn’t make sense if trading away sabonis…. not wrong on values but like some combo of getting just jrue holiday and trading away Derozan much better. If going to trade sabonis can’t take on older players.

14 Jun 2025 10:45:30

Dallas wouldn't trade #1 alone for Booker and this has them adding stuff.

05 Jun 2025 09:44:19
I noticed that the Clippers arent being talked about in here, I see their team as mediocre at best and might not get to see a deep playoff run in the near future. Yes they took the Nuggets to 7 games but they are massacred in game 7. Their stars are old and injury prone and their supporting cast are not that great either aside from Zubac and Powell. Maybe it's time for them to rebuild and gain assets. I believe they can fetch a pick or 2 for Harden and a good haul for Kawhi as well as Powell.
But who might need these players?

Some sensible deal that I think:

Kawhi to Nuggets for Porter Jr, Strawther & package of future picks?
Kawhi to Rockets for Jabari Smith Jr, Brooks & picks?
Kawhi to Dallas or Cavs?
Harden to Orlando?
Harden to where?

05 Jun 2025 13:04:47
i can't see any team giving up value for Leonard or Harden.
The clippers don't own their own picks, so they have no other choice than doing a rerun and try to get some good free agents in 2027.

01 Jun 2025 18:00:28

Holy crap, this is atrocious for Dallas. If they trade Flagg for 38 yr old Durant, Mavs fans will riot outside their arena.

02 Jun 2025 06:40:08
Horrible. If it's for Booker maybe but for Durant, big NO.
