NBA Trade Rumors: Rockets Linked to Suns’ Superstar

We’ve heard talk all season that the Houston Rockets would be interested in supercharging their vault into playoff contender by adding another star.

According to ESPN Insider Tim MacMahon, one superstar they have their eye on is Devin Booker.

Speaking on The Hoop Collective podcast, MacMahon said that the Rockets “have let it be known that they are Devin Booker fans."

But really, who isn’t?

Certainly, adding a player of Booker’s caliber would vault them straight into championship contention

But MacMahon’s colleague seemed to shoot down any real hope that Houston could somehow land Booker by telling him that there’s no indication that the Suns are willing to trade him, and "I don't see any wavering on that whatsoever."

The 28-year-old Booker is averaging 25.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.9 assists, and 1.2 steals per game this year, but the Suns are struggling, and seem stuck where they are because of the massive contract of Bradley Beal that no team in the NBA has any interest in taking on.

The Rockets, on the other hand, are doing just fine without Booker or any other help, as they sit 2nd in the Western Conference at 26-12.
