Houston Rockets
It seems like the Houston Rockets have been in “sell” mode ever since the offseason as they have gone from entering this past offseason as a true playoff contender and championship hopeful, to one of the worst teams in the league that is facing an uphill rebuilding process. In the offseason, the Rockets traded away both Robert Covington and Russell Westbrook and in January, they finally granted James Harden his wish and traded him to the Brooklyn Nets.
Now, in the post-Harden era, the Rockets are still left with some talented players on their roster, but they are not done making deals yet. P.J. Tucker has has already been traded to the Milwaukee Bucks and Victor Oladipo has been involved in trade rumors ever since he arrived to the Rockets in January.
Veteran wing Eric Gordon has also been drawing a lot of interest for the Rockets from numerous playoff-caliber teams this season, as has perimeter-oriented wing Ben McLemore. No player on this Rockets’ roster is safe from being moved and they have been taking calls on numerous players ahead of the trade deadline.

The Rockets have been receiving interest for virtually every player on their roster and with them getting close to having the worst record in the league, they may look to trade away three or more of what is considered their “core” players.
In their losses this season, the Rockets are losing by an average of over 15 points and they have been one of the worst offensive teams in the league ever since they traded away James Harden. There is close to a zero percent chance that this team makes the playoffs this season and as a result, expect to see them part ways with numerous players on their roster and look to gather as many future draft picks and youthful talent as they can.
