The Houston Rockets are definitely one of the most exciting teams in the Western Conference, but they are very eager to get better.
After a great regular season and some time in the playoffs, the Rockets are attempting to improve by adding more talent to their lineup.
According to Kelly Iko, per Legion Hoops, the Rockets could look to Brook Lopez of the Milwaukee Bucks if they aren’t able to re-sign Steven Adams.
Lopez, a respected and proven vet, could bring a lot of great experience to Houston.

Last season, Lopez averaged 13.0 points and 5.0 rebounds.
He has been playing in the league for 16 seasons now and has been a part of the New Jersey and Brooklyn Nets, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Bucks.
His name has been attached to trade rumors for a while, and the Bucks could be making quite a few moves this summer, including possibly losing Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Adams has been good for the Rockets, and they would like to keep him.
But if they aren’t able to make that deal happen, they can pivot to Lopez.
The Rockets are in an interesting position, where they are showing a lot of promise but hoping to take the next steps, evolve, and be a regular part of the playoffs.
Could Lopez help them reach that next level?
Fans are waiting to see just how much the Rockets do in the summer.
If they pursue Lopez, will he be the only player they add, or will they try to bring in even more talent to their young and enthusiastic squad?
