Luka Donu010diu0107 is (somehow) in Los Angeles. Anthony Davis is in Dallas, and De’Aaron Fox is in San Antonio. Will any established All-Star join the Houston Rockets before Thursday afternoon’s NBA trade deadline? Don’t expect the same fireworks from the Rockets compared to Houston’s neighbors in the Lone Star State.
This isn’t to say the Rockets are lacking in young talent and draft capital if they wish to pursue the likes of Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler or another veteran star not yet bandied about in trade rumors. Quite the contrary.
