The Houston Rockets are about to start training camp and they have a big question mark over a player: Kevin Porter Jr. One who probably played his last game last April with the Rockets, given that in the summer he was arrested on charges of assault and strangulation of his girlfriend. According to The Athletic, the Rockets are working on a trade for Porter Jr. … and may have found a trading partner in the Indiana Pacers, who are trying to negotiate the release of Buddy Hield. The Rockets will begin training camp on Tuesday, October 3.
According to CBS Sports, “Houston would send Porter, who Indiana would immediately waive, to the Pacers along with a draft pick or two for Hield. He can’t take on Porter’s ball-handling job, but in truth the Rockets shouldn’t want him. A aside from VanVleet, Jalen Green and No. 4 overall pick Amen Thompson, Houston already has a center that desperately needs more usage in Alperen Sengun. What they need after ranking last in the NBA in scoring percentage 3 points last season is a few more shots. It’s the job Hield does best.”
