“The 26-year-old (Christian Wood) has been subject to interest around the league, and sources say Miami has been one of the more persistent teams in engaging with Houston on the versatile big man,” Kelly Iko reported.
The trade deadline is now less than 3 weeks away, and we’ve already seen some interesting trades. The Rockets are particularly not interested in bringing anyone to their roster, but they could pounce upon an opportunity if it pops up.
