Trades are the one staple in NBA culture, or sports in general, that can leave you 100 percent happy or sad, in one direction or another. They can alter the course of a franchise with one single move, and in the case of the Houston Rockets, there are many to count.
Darren Yuvan and I crafted lists by starting out with anything that we felt deserved mentioning. From that list of 17 trades, we then narrowed it down to our Top 10. This list features trades from multiple eras of Rockets basketball and we hope that this list will bring nostalgia back to the lifetime fans and prompt younger fans to read some good ol’ Rockets history.
