The Houston Rockets are reportedly looking to acquire a former Dallas Mavericks player, currently predicted to be Anthony Davis, in a potential trade. The deal would involve sending disgruntled forward Dorian Finney-Smith along with Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason, and a second-round pick to the Wizards. Davis, who has struggled with injuries, played only 29 games with the Mavericks. Two sources suggest Houston could benefit from bolstering its frontcourt, which has been weak outside of Alperen Sengun. The Rockets may proceed with caution due to Davis's injury history as they consider this trade this summer.
