The Houston Rockets have played well above expectations throughout the 2024-25 season thus far. While many expected them to take another leap after putting up a 41-win 2023-24 campaign, not too many foresaw that they would end up being one of the best teams in the association.

However, their success hasn't pulled them from NBA trade rumors. Center Myles Turner is on the last year of his contract, and with no one aside from Thomas Bryant backing him up, the Pacers are still reportedly shopping him, with the Los Angeles Lakers emerging as a suitor. Before the deadline, the Pacers will need to make an absolute decision.
