The Houston Rockets are reportedly engaging multiple teams in trade discussions aimed at offloading Dorian Finney-Smith. This move is intended to make room for a multiyear offer to Marcus Smart, projected to be around $7 million per year. If Finney-Smith is not traded, the Rockets can still extend a two-year, $13 million contract to Smart. The outcome of these negotiations could reshape the team's roster heading into the upcoming season.
