The Houston Rockets are currently in a strong position, holding a record of 25-12 and ranking second in the Western Conference, ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies. While their defensive efforts have put them in contention, their offensive ranking at No. 11 indicates room for improvement. The Rockets are eyeing a trade to enhance their scoring potential, specifically by acquiring Cameron Johnson from the Brooklyn Nets.

In a proposed trade, the Rockets would send veteran forward Dillon Brooks along with two first-round draft picks to Brooklyn in exchange for Johnson. This move is intended to bolster the Rockets' offense, especially given Johnson's impressive 44% shooting from beyond the arc. With the emergence of guard Amen Thompson, adding a shooter like Johnson could elevate Houston's overall performance.
