Could the Houston Rockets look to acquire the Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard?
Could the Houston Rockets be primed to make more win-now moves this offseason? A year ago, the team signed Dillon Brooks and Fred VanVleet to bolster the team's chances of making the postseason. They won 41 games -- a 19-win improvement. They've also got a strong young core in Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson.
According to The Athletic's Kelly Iko, the franchise is maintaining interest in a Cleveland Cavaliers star. Donovan Mitchell, with rumors swirling of a potential departure, has garnered the interest of the Rockets."The Houston Rockets have maintained interest in Cavs All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell for months and continue to monitor his situation in Cleveland," Iko
It's also been clear Mitchell desires to play in a bigger market. The Rockets can provide that, as Houston is a much better sports market than Salt Lake City or Cleveland. They can also put the ball in his hands. Of course, one could assume Green would be moved in the trade, as he's a desirable young player who can help transform a franchise in the long term. They'd also lose the No. 3 pick, meaning they're ready to lean into building a contending team and abandon the youth movement.
