After shipping off James Harden, the Houston Rockets are now firmly in the midst of a rebuild with budding stars Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Sengun.
Part of Houston’s strategy was to acquire future picks, in order to either land even more talented prospects or package them in the future to add win-now assets.
