Rockets may have included Jalen Green in a trade package for Mikal Bridges

The Houston Rockets reportedly offered Jalen Green to the Brooklyn Nets, proposing a package centered on draft picks for Mikal Bridges, but discussions didn’t progress, according to sources from Marc Stein of The Stein Line. The Rockets’ potential to trade back future first-round picks is seen as appealing to the Nets for rebuilding.

However, the Nets value Bridges highly and consider him crucial, as he is seen as the type of player that could attract other stars. In their coaching candidates’ interviews last offseason, the Rockets expressed interest in discussing trades involving their young players for a higher-profile star, sources told Jake Fischer of Yahoo.
