2024 NBA trade deadline: Feb. 6 Houston Rockets rumor updates

The NBA’s 2023-24 deadline for in-season trades is fast approaching: 2 p.m. Central on Thursday.

As of Tuesday, with the deadline about 48 hours away, the Rockets have only announced one move. Unfortunately, it will not help this year’s team. Houston agreed to send multiple second-round draft assets to Memphis to acquire veteran big man Steven Adams, who is out for the 2023-24 season but should return in 2024-25 as a very capable backup behind rising star Alperen Sengun.

The Rockets are 23-26 and just outside of the current Western Conference play-in field. Will Rockets general manager Rafael Stone be able to address the backup center’s role on this season’s team? And what about other potential needs, such as more 3-point shooting (referenced recently by head coach Ime Udoka)?

As of Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 6 — with the 2023-24 deadline approximately 48 hours away — here’s our roundup of the latest scuttlebutt.
