Are The Houston Rockets Going To Make A Drexler-Level Trade?

Replacing Kevin McHale with J.B. Bickerstaff was the first move in fixing chemistry issues. Is a Drexler-level trade next?

On February 15th, 1995, a struggling and disappointing Rockets squad with high expectations and legitimate championship aspirations swung the most famous trade in franchise history. They brought in All-Star shooting guard Clyde Drexler from Portland to play alongside former Phi Slamma Jamma teammate Hakeem Olajuwon.

This was a squad with one of the all-time greatest players and leaders in his prime in Olajuwon. But we all know the Rockets don't win the second title in 1995 without Drexler's smooth and cool, yet serious perspective and veteran poise.
