The Houston Rockets made a monumental multi-draft pick swap with the Brooklyn Nets, the teams announced Wednesday.
Following the deal, the Rockets are looking to begin an immediate pursuit for a star player, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Among the stars the Rockets are interested in is the Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant, Wojnarowski adds, and they acquired draft capital in order to entice the Suns to trade the 14-time All-Star. However, Phoenix intends to keep Durant, and Houston is determined to be aggressive on other potential deals, according to Wojnarowski.
