The Houston Rockets have no intention of dismantling their core to pursue Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, according to sources cited by The Athletic. Despite Giannis’ superstar status, the Rockets are prioritizing the development of their young talent and maintaining their current roster stability.
Houston has started the season strong, holding a 10-5 record and sitting just one game behind the top spot in the Western Conference. Rather than chasing a blockbuster trade, the organization remains committed to building success around its promising core players, emphasizing long-term growth and chemistry as a unit.
