The Rockets were revealed to be planning to trade for the Blossom Lot

According to Woj, long before the Rockets drew the pick, General Manager Stone revealed that he might trade the first-round pick, and they wanted to seek another influential veteran, so he believes that the Rockets' draft pick is tradable.

As Woj said, long before the lottery draw, Rockets reporter Fagan wrote an article revealing that Stone had contacted the Nets in January, hoping to exchange the Nets for the Nets' future first-round pick.

However, after winning the lottery, Stone was very ambiguous in an interview with USA Today.

He said that with the current roster of the Rockets, even if they do nothing, as long as they wait for the young players to develop and the injured players to return, the team will get better in the new season.

When asked about the top-four picks in the past four consecutive years, Stone said that he had talked about related deals before, but none of the year's offers came close to closing a deal.
