Winter is coming, but NBA rumor season is already here. On this episode of Hardwood Knocks, we dive deep into the bowels of what's going on with the Houston Rockets, James Harden and Russell Westbrook while also conjuring up trades galore for the rest of the league. First up is Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes (@gt_hughes), who joins Dan to talk potential Rockets trades and the future of Harden and Westbrook (6:55). After that, they hit recent rumors that cover Victor Oladipo (29:07), Jrue Holiday (38:44), DeMar DeRozan (48:55), Aaron Gordon (55:20), the Celtics, the Lakers, the Warriors and much more. Then, it's on to Salman Ali (@SalmanAliNBA), who covers the Rockets for ESPN 97.5. He takes us even deeper into the state of franchise, where it all went wrong, where Houston goes from here, the value of Westbrook and what might become of Harden (77:39).
