The Houston Rockets have decided to pass on pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo in a potential trade, despite early interest. Sources confirm that the Rockets remain committed to their current roster, emphasizing the growth of their young players, including Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün. Sitting at a promising 10-5 record, the team is focused on developing its promising core rather than breaking it up for a superstar trade .
Additionally, other trade rumors swirl around the San Antonio Spurs, with discussions about acquiring players like Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez from the Milwaukee Bucks. While Giannis may be on the move in the future, the Spurs might first target more immediate roster needs.
