The Houston Rockets are not interested in breaking up their core to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo should the Milwaukee Bucks choose to make him available, sources tell Kelly Iko of The Athletic.
The Rockets are 10-5 this season with one of the NBA’s yougnest cores.
When the Rockets traded multiple future first round picks originating with the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for picks via the Phoenix Suns, there was speculation that they were positioning themselves to acquire either Kevin Durant or Devin Booker. The Rockets have also been linked with Antetokounmpo considering their future draft picks and promising young players.
The reporting on Milwaukee’s position on Antetokounmpo has been consistent that they will not consider trading him unless he specifically requests a trade.
