The Houston Rockets are positioned well as they enter the NBA trade season, currently holding a 15-7 record and sitting second in the Western Conference. With a blend of young talent and experienced players, they also possess significant draft capital.

Despite rumors linking them to stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant, executives believe the Rockets may pursue a major trade. However, they are expected to remain quiet this winter, with Jae'Sean Tate and other veterans like Steven Adams and Jeff Green being potential trade candidates.
