Can the Rockets get Antetokounmpo in the offseason? Can you trade superstars in multiple first rounds + young people?

On May 6, 2025, in the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets were eliminated by the Warriors, and the game of this season was unfortunately over. For the Rockets, being able to win second in the Western Conference in the regular season and fighting the Warriors in seven games in the playoffs is already considered an over-complete task. The next offseason will be the time for the Rockets to make an important decision. If a top star can be introduced, there is really a chance to win the championship in the next few seasons.

The Rockets currently have rich bargaining chips. Forbes Sports reporter Evan Sidery also summarized the Rockets' first round picks by 2031, including the first round picks from the Suns in 2025 and 2027, the first round swap rights with the Nets in 2027, the first round swap rights with the Nets in 2028, the first round from the Suns or Mavericks in 2029, the first round swap rights from the Suns or Mavericks in 2029, and their own first rounds in 2030 and 2031. These draft picks will be very attractive in the next trades.

Currently, for the Rockets, the stars who have the opportunity to get include Booker, Durant and Antetokounmpo. If one of these three people can come to the team, it will bring a qualitative improvement to the team's lineup.

So let's take a look at what the Rockets will do in the offseason. After all, there are sufficient draft picks and many outstanding young people. They should have the opportunity to give other teams enough attractiveness.
