[ASFN Admin]

The Houston Rockets are looking for multiple ways to get better for next season. Houston has several young players that they can trade to obtain a key veteran this season to help improve the roster. There are several notable players that could be available, such as Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Trae Young, and Giannis Antetokounmpo to name a few.

Phoenix Suns Devin Booker's name has recently been involved in a potential trade with the Rockets; however, things have turned. Booker averaged 25.6 ppg and 7.1 assists a game for the Suns. He also won a Gold medal after playing on the United States basketball team.

The Rockets have previously held serious interest in the Suns' Devin Booker, but team sources said that is no longer the case. Not only do team officials still have faith in Jalen Green, who is five years younger than Booker and $66 million cheaper over the next three seasons, but also Booker's struggles last season shifted the thinking on this front.
