Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat May 31, 2025 4:25 pm

The Houston Rockets are expected to look into trading the No. 10 pick in the upcoming draft, according to Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo! Sports.


It is not known whether the team would prefer to move up in the draft or use the pick to trade for a star.


The Rockets have been linked with several moves this offseason, including registering interest in Giannis Antetokounmpo and several Celtics veterans.


The team is reportedly no longer interested in Devin Booker

To be fair the actual article is a mock draft so the writer’s just explaining why this pick is hard to guess at, and the point there isn’t as dumb:
‘With that said, t he Rockets have a pretty deep roster as is and minutes could be hard to come by for an incoming freshman like they were for Reed Sheppard last year. So league sources expect the Rockets to look into trading this pick, whether it’s a trade way up, a trade out for a star, or a trade out for a group of future picks similar to what the Spurs received from the Timberwolves when they moved up for Rob Dillingham last year.’
Mostly just a lazy aggregation clip.
