The Chicago Bulls handed Josh Giddey a four-year, $100 million contract and solidified his place as their starting point guard through 2029. His running mate, Coby White, will be an unrestricted free agent at the conclusion of this season, which has triggered trade speculation surrounding the 25-year-old. If that's the route the Bulls decide to take, a deal with the Houston Rockets makes sense.
Houston will be without its own floor general after Fred VanVleet tore his ACL and is expected to miss all of 2025-26. After acquiring Kevin Durant this summer, it's championship or bust for the Rockets.
