The Houston Rockets are less than a week away from the NBA trade deadline, which is scheduled for next Thursday, Feb. 6 at 2 p.m. CST. As we know, general manager Daryl Morey is working the phones to try to get some frontcourt help as the backcourt is set with James Harden and Russell Westbrook manning those positions.
You shouldn’t be surprised that Morey is trying to work a deal despite their difficulty of making something happen without them going over the luxury tax line. Houston Rockets‘ owner Tilman Fertitta has said that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to ensure this team has a winner on the court — I’m paraphrasing — but his talk as indicated otherwise.
