Houston Rockets eye potential trades for Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart
Summary

The Houston Rockets are reportedly considering moves involving Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart as part of their offseason strategy. Despite speculation linking the Rockets to Brown, sources indicate they have not engaged in recent trade discussions with the Boston Celtics regarding the All-Star. Meanwhile, the Rockets are positioned to pursue Smart if he opts out of his contract with the Lakers. Smart may decline his player option ahead of the upcoming deadline, increasing his appeal in the free agent market. This follows a disappointing playoff elimination for the Rockets against the Lakers.
