The Houston Rockets are showing positive signs of possibly dominating the playoffs this NBA season. With the MVP level performance of James Harden, the Ryan Anderson team seems to be rallying to redeem themselves from their abysmal ranking last year. Will a Draymond Green trade help them rise to the top?

The Beard has been criticized for his lack of defense skills in the hardwood court. Despite his greatness in the offense aspect, fans feel that he has yet to find the perfect partner to help him work from both ends of the court. Among the stars reportedly linked to the Houston Rockets, a Draymond Green trade seems to be one of the most highly anticipated possibilities.

Rumors are rife that the Golden State Warriors are looking into executing a Draymond Green trade in light of his problematic behavior on and off the court. Despite his contribution to the success of the Dub Nation, speculations are circulating that his issues are starting to affect the chemistry of the team. While Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are trying to lead the Golden State Warriors to regain their lost championship to the Cleveland Cavaliers, fans believe that a Draymond Green trade would be ideal to eliminate distractions.

The NBA teams reportedly looking into signing a Draymond Green trade deal include the Dallas Mavericks, where he can reunite with former teammates Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes, as well as the Brooklyn Nets, where he can help out Jeremy Lin improve the lineup. However, the Houston Rockets are figuring to be a contender team in terms of the capacity to sign the contract of Draymond Green. That is, the James Harden squad appears to be the most financially capable to acquire him. On top of that, the Houston Rockets are reportedly searching for stars to put an end to the defense problems of the team.

At the moment, the parties involved have yet to provide comments regarding the matter. However, fans speculate that the possibility of a Draymond Green trade to the Houston Rockets would not be welcomed by James Harden. Rumors point to the potential personality clash that could occur in the roster - one that might be able to rival the Dwight Howard drama in the past season.

Right now, both the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets appear focused on improving their performances and proving their dominance in the league. Whether or not a Draymond Green trade would be pulled off this NBA season remains a mystery. However, fans of the Houston Rockets believe that this change might not be welcomed with open arms by James Harden.
