The Houston Rockets find themselves in an interesting situation ahead of June's 2024 NBA Draft. The Rockets narrowly missed their goal of making the play-in tournament last season, despite posting a 41-41 record, as they finished with the 11th seed in the Western Conference. In fact, the Rockets would be hard-pressed to find significant playing time for a prospect-level player, which could be why we've heard Rockets General Manager Rafael Stone publicly express a willingness to part with the pick. Aaron Kellerstrass of Pippen Ain't Easy theorized a trade involving the Rockets and Chicago Bulls, which has the Rockets shipping away the third and 44th picks, in exchange for guard Alex Caruso and the Bulls' 11th pick.
