But this isn't how the series has played out as it shifts back to Houston with the Rockets on the brink of elimination. The evaluation of the initial playoff experience for the Rockets' rising young stars will be an important element of those internal discussions. A blockbuster trade would require the Rockets to give up some of that young talent, although Houston has made it known to other front offices that Thompson is considered untouchable. Jalen Green was the Houston Rockets' leading scorer this season. Those are the assets that would allow the Rockets to engage in any superstar trade discussions this summer -- if that's a path the team opts to take.
