The Houston Rockets’ championship aspirations have taken a blow after it was reported that team leader Fred VanVleet suffered a possibly season-ending injury. It’s unfortunate and something you never want to see and may force the Rockets into making additional moves to try and replace him. With no money or flexibility, Houston may have to deal Tari Eason, and if they do, the Pistons should be all over it.
Eason should have been on the Pistons’ radar already, as the Rockets have a plethora of players at his position after adding Kevin Durant this offseason and may not be able to squeeze Eason into their future financial plans, especially after committing to Jabari Smith Jr.
