Houston Rockets Trade Rumors: Could Celtics Stars Jrue Holiday or Derrick White Be Coming to H-Town?

Spears, the Houston Rockets are emerging as a potential destination for players from the Boston Celtics, a team currently dealing with roster questions and looming salary cap issues.

Spears recently mentioned that if the Celtics shake up their core roster this off season, the Rockets and the Spurs are two teams to watch. That’s a significant development for Houston, which has both the young talent and draft capital, to be a serious trade player. But why would Boston consider breaking up a team that’s consistently competitive in the East? Part of it comes down to finances. Boston’s projected salary for next season is one of the highest in the league with Tatum set to make $54.1 million, Jaylen Brown at $53 million, Drew Holiday at $32 million, Porzingis at $30 million, and Derek White at $28.1 million. According to Spears, even before Tatum’s recent injury, one NBA executive expected the Celtics to make big changes regardless of playoff outcome. Enter Houston. With I’m Udoka, Boston’s former head coach and current Rockets leader at the helm. Houston is a natural landing spot. Udoka has strong relationships with several Celtics players and has publicly shown interest in upgrading the Rockets roster. That familiarity could make the idea of joining Houston more appealing for players like Holiday or White. While it’s highly unlikely that Tatum is moved and Jaylen Brown is a long shot due to positional redundancy with Jaylen Green, there’s real potential for other names. Drew Holiday and Derek White are intriguing options. Both would instantly boost Houston’s perimeter defense and bring muchneeded veteran presence. White, a former Spur, and Holiday, known for his grit and leadership, could be perfect compliments to the Rockets young core. Of course, this all depends on how the off season unfolds. Boston needs to decide which direction to take, and the Rockets must assess how players like Fred Vanble Vleet on a hefty $40 million contract fit into long-term plans. If Houston looks to move that salary, it could open the door to acquiring one of Boston’s high impact guards. The big question now, who from Boston would you want in Houston? And who would you trade to make it
