Rockets Make Blockbuster Trade For Trae Young In Proposed Scenario The Houston Rockets might need to add some major firepower in the summer and Trae Young could be the perfect target for them. The Houston Rockets have cooled off after an incredibly hot start to the season, going from challenging the No. 1 seed to dropping to No. 4 after a 2-7 run in their last nine games. The Rockets will likely break their Playoff drought this season, but their status as contenders looks shaky at the moment. Their scoring ability leaves much to be desired, having a 113.8 offensive…

When discussing the greatest times in NBA history, there is zero chance that the historic Chicago Bulls squad that won two three-peats in eight seasons from 1991 to 1998 wouldn’t be in the Top 3. However, a short title drought happened in the two seasons between those runs, and that was the period when the Houston Rockets ran the show in the Association. Truth be told, Michael Jordan, who…
Houston Rockets rookie Reed Sheppard was one of the sure-fire bets to pan out in the NBA coming into the season. Drafted No. 3 overall in 2024, the Kentucky product was expected to make an immediate impact on a young Rockets core with his two-way abilities. Despite standing at just 6-foot-2, Sheppard was a defensive menace in college while also being arguably the best three-point shooter in the nation. During his lone season with the Wildcats, Sheppard averaged 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and a staggering 2.5 steals per game. His efficiency from beyond the arc (52.1%) made him…

General manager Chris Grier signaled that investments in the line are crucial, especially with multiple guards, including Jones, becoming…
