Just a few days ago, we were speculating that the Rockets needed to make a move before the trade deadline hits on February 23, and now we get confirmation that they are, in fact, being active in trade discussions. And one of the pieces they are looking to send out in a deal is 24-year-old wing K.J. McDaniels.
In addition to moving McDaniels, according to ESPN’s Zach Lowe, the Rockets are in “win now” mode and are looking to move other players as well in order to receive a significant upgrade to the rotation heading down the final stretch of the season.
