One trade target the Rockets should go for is Ben Simmons. Considering they are taking playing time away from Green and Porter Jr., it would be best for Wall and Gordon to go somewhere where they can compete for a championship. Wall and Gordon are being paid 40 million and 20 million respectively over the next two seasons. The best move that the Rockets can make for their roster is to trade their veteran players. also flashed his potential by playing well at the end of last season.
Second-year small forward Kenyon Martin Jr. Free-agent acquisition Daniel Theis will provide mentorship to this young Rockets team. Other key pieces on this team include all-rookie first-team selection Jae’Sean Tate, as well as first-round rookies Alperen Sengun, Usman Garuba, and Josh Christopher. Gordon hasn’t requested a trade but as a 32-year-old veteran with an injury history chances are he will miss time this year. Wall met with the Rockets recently and will not play in any games until he is traded. Veterans John Wall and Eric Gordon may not be on the team much longer.

The Rockets took a gamble on Christian Wood the last offseason after he had a mini-breakout towards the second half of the 2019-20 season with the Detroit Pistons. He proved the Cavaliers gave up on him too soon when he averaged 16.6 points and 6.3 assists in a point guard role in 26 games. was given away by the Cleveland Cavaliers last season for a second-round pick. He is considered to be the best scoring prospect in the draft and could average 20 points per game as a rookie. Green was the second overall pick in this year’s draft.

Likely BustĮric Gordon - Gordon averaged less than 15 points per game for the first time since 2014 last season and Houston has gotten even more talented on offense by adding Wood and Cousins.
