A lot of anticipation over the past several weeks was building up for the Houston Rockets, but the anticipation turned into hot air when the team made just one trade ahead of Thursday’s NBA Trade Deadline.
Despite rumored interest from teams surrounding the team’s veterans, the only player to be dealt was Daniel Theis, who was shipped to the Boston Celtics for a package highlighted by Dennis Schroder.
The Rockets were rumored to want a first-round pick in exchange for Eric Gordon and two first-round picks for Christian Wood, and while there were rumored rumblings of a deal set to happen, the pair of vets are still in Houston after the deadline.
