The Houston Rockets are currently evaluating their position in the NBA trade market, particularly with interest from Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler. Despite their strong start at 17-9, the Rockets have expressed a desire to maintain their core roster without significant changes.

While a major trade seems unlikely, the team may consider minor adjustments due to several players on expiring contracts, including Fred VanVleet. Other players like Steven Adams, Jeff Green, and Jae'Sean Tate could also be potential trade candidates as the February 6 deadline approaches.
