The Rockets are open to trading their No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft for a player with experience who can help them win games immediately.
They haven't made the playoffs since 2020 and want to jump into contention quickly.
The Rockets have been improving in recent seasons, but they believe a veteran star could be the missing piece to their puzzle.
This move would help them compete with the top teams in the Western Conference and make a serious run for the championship.
