Superstar guard James Harden reportedly expressed interest in returning to the Houston Rockets before the Los Angeles Clippers traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers this week.

The Houston Rockets are reportedly content with their roster as is ahead of the upcoming NBA trade deadline.

The Bulls are listening to phone calls regarding a Coby White trade. It sounds like the Houston Rockets have interest as Western Conference Contenders.

One insider speculated that two Eastern Conference powers could be interested in Golden State Warriors All-Star Draymond Green.

It appears as though the Houston Rockets are thumbing their nose at the Chicago Bulls over a trade for Tari Eason.

All of this lines up quite nicely, and according to Jake Fischer, the Cavaliers and Hornets have indeed held preliminary conversations about a Ball trade that would help Cleveland get below the second apron before Thursday's deadline.
