Jalen Green has "generated some trade buzz" leading to the deadline, sources tell ESPN's Zach Lowe.

The Houston Rockets are seeking their first playoff berth since trading away James Harden after the 19-20 season. The Rockets are plus picks and have enough good young players that it could be difficult to pay them all long-term.

Green is averaging 18.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists this season as his role has decreased after they reshaped their roster.
