Despite sitting in second place in the Western Conference and boasting a haul of future draft picks, the Houston Rockets don't seem like they will

The Rockets seem leery of trading for De'Aaron Fox but will that extend to deals for other veterans that could raise their ceiling by breaking up their young core?

The Rockets are reportedly content with their current roster despite De'Aaron Fox trade rumors beginning to surface.

Per The Athletic’s Kelly Iko, Houston could pursue an asset-related trade by the NBA’s Feb. 6 in-season deadline. They won’t go after De’Aaron Fox.

Through conversations with Kings officials in recent weeks, Houston Rockets officials were aware of the increasing likelihood of a potential De'Aaron Fox trade away from Sacramento, especially as the prospect of the 27-year-old guard signing a long-term extension with the Kings became less and less plausible.

In case you missed it, the Sacramento Kings are expected to open trade talks around franchise point guard De’Aaron Fox, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Tuesday, and Fox’s preferred landing spot is San Antonio.

These three teams are rising contenders in need of a star point guard and have the kinds of assets that the Kings would be interested in.

That’s because the Spurs — reportedly Fox’s preferred trade destination — currently have nine tradeable first-round picks that they can include in a deal to the Heat’s one tradeable first-round selection. San Antonio also has young talent such as Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell and others who it can add to any trade package for Fox.

Though the Kings star is making his future intentions clear, he's doing so while giving Sacramento a chance to fully evaluate the market.
