But these days, it doesn’t appear the Rockets will be an aggressive suitor. Via Tim MacMahon on ESPN’s The Hoop Collective podcast: I know Perk (Kendrick Perkins) was on TV on Tuesday talking about Giannis to Houston. I’m just telling you, that is not in play. I did check in. This has been the Rockets’ patient approach, and they’ve been sticking with it. Even the KD trade wasn’t a departure from that, because they waited until the price was low. They didn’t have to shorten their runway. But I checked in and said, ‘Any budging?’ I got a four-word response, ‘As patient as ever.’ So, don’t hold your breath.
