It’s been well documented that the Houston Rockets have interest in Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robert Covington, but the Rockets don’t necessarily have the ability to pull off such a move due to their financial constraints. It’ll definitely be impossible to land RoCo if Rockets’ owner Tilman Fertitta is set on dodging the luxury tax.
But the Rockets will likely have to trade a package including Nene, Gerald Green, Thabo Sefolosha, and either Isaiah Hartenstein or Gary Clark to even have a chance from a mathematical standpoint.
