NBA Rumors: Huston Rockets To Trade Jalen Green?
According to several league insiders, the Rockets and James Harden have a mutual interest in one another. However, it would be premature to talk about Harden’s future before this postseason is through. According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the Rockets are also monitoring the situations of Khris Middleton in Milwaukee (who has a player option for the upcoming season) and Jaylen Brown in Boston (who is eligible for an extension and wants the maximum). For a start, would the Rockets trade Jalen Green?
NBA Rumors: Huston Rockets To Trade Jalen Green?
The hire of Ime Udoka as coach—this franchise wants to be in the playoffs next season, not watching them from home—is the strongest indication that Houston is entering “phase two” and exiting the rebuilding game. That implies roster adjustments.

According to the most recent NBA rumors, the Houston Rockets may be interested in trading Jalen Green for a potential superstar in the upcoming window.
#Sources — Houston Rockets have NO intention to trade Jalen Green. Team has plans to build around Green / Smith Jr. / Sengun via free agency and the draft. Houston will have over $60m to spend in free agency. #NBA

This season, Jalen Green and the Rockets were unable to advance to the playoffs. To hasten their return to the playoffs, the front management is allegedly investigating the prospect of dealing away Jalen Green, their second-round choice in the 2021 NBA draft. Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports has stated that one of the factors influencing the Rockets’ likely choice is their pursuit of James Harden.
I understand from a certain standpoint nobody is untouchable, but Jalen Green is not a player you give up in a Jaylen Brown trade.
I wouldn’t even give that a thought, and the #Rockets shouldn’t either… pic.twitter.com/omHBFk6CC7

The Rockets must to think about exchanging Green for the ideal star. Last season, Green averaged an ineffective 22.1 points per game, shot 33.8% from 3-point range, and had a 53.8 true shooting percentage, which was significantly lower than the league average. Even if his game has improved in his second season, he is still a volume scorer at this moment.

Fans will undoubtedly be unhappy since Jalen Green has the makings of a superstar and the Houston Rockets last advanced to the postseason in 2020. After having a dismal season, they could be considering quickening their progress toward Playoff contention. With a 22-60 record, the Rockets came in second-to-last in the Western Conference.
I feel confident in shutting this rumor down. The #Rockets aint including Jalen Green in a trade package for Jaylen Brown this summer. Not happening. Move on, next. https://t.co/TU1tCndHnn

It’s unclear how or which superstar may be sufficient to propel them into Playoff contention for the upcoming season.
