The writing has been on the wall for some time between the Houston Rockets and Jalen Green, and Green was reading it. He recently told the Houston Chronicle that he was expecting the team to trade him.
“Yeah, I had a feeling. They’ve been trying to trade me since last year.”
-Jalen Green
This is interesting. Green has been in trade rumors for some time, but his most ardent supporters were quick to dismiss the rumors as baseless. Now, there's proof. The Rockets had been trying to trade Green.
