Houston Rockets Plan Major Trades for Superstar Enhancements

The Houston Rockets, despite their young talent and depth, were exposed in the playoffs for lacking a true top-scoring superstar, fueling offseason trade rumors linking them to stars like Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Anthony Davis. Their wealth of draft assets and promising players makes them a potential suitor for a blockbuster deal, as they seek a three-level scorer to elevate their roster. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks' high-profile trade for Karl-Anthony Towns has yielded mixed results: while Towns boosted their scoring, defensive performance has slipped, increasing pressure as they face the Celtics in the next playoff round. Across the league, the NBA trade market is expected to be active this summer, with cap space limited and several elite players possibly on the move as teams look to reshape their rosters for a deeper postseason run. The shifting landscape includes recent historic trades, such as Anthony Davis to Dallas and Luka Doncic to the Lakers, which have not always produced the desired results, highlighting the risks and rewards of such bold moves.
