After Hoopshypeit's the turn of The Athletic to report the Rockets' interest in Mikal Bridges. Houston management wants to accelerate, or even finalize, its reconstruction phase, and they believe that an additional star is missing to join the title race in the years to come.
But… the Nets are not sellers. The Rockets offered several first rounds of the Draft, but Brooklyn leaders consider their international winger to be their best player, and there is no question of parting with him. The Athletic specifies that the Rockets are not interested in Dejounte Murray or Zach LaVine, whose names have been circulating for several weeks.
In the absence of a big name, the Rockets would also be looking for a pivot to support Alperen Sengun. Among the names being considered are Clint Capela, who knows the franchise well, but also Kelly Olynyk and Andre Drummond. As for Robert Williams III, it will possibly be for next season since he is injured for the rest of the season.
