The Houston Rockets are ready to take a step forward. The organization’s decision to hire Ime Udoka indicates as much. They are one of the main teams to watch as buyers this NBA offseason.
After three years of tanking, the Rockets won’t own their next draft pick. They need to be a better basketball team in 2023-24.
The Brooklyn Nets may need to take a step back. It’s hard to say what this organization will do this summer. Some think the Nets are likely to trade for a star player.
Perhaps they will. After all, the Nets don’t own their draft capital through to 2027 – they owe it to the Houston Rockets as a result of the James Harden trade.
With that said, if they could get it back, the Nets would suddenly have flexibility. The main talent that would be worth doing such a trade in exchange for is Mikal Bridges.
Could a trade work for the Rockets to acquire Bridges?
