What happened: The Houston Rockets are willing to listen to trade offers for every player and star on their roster with one exception: Amen Thompson. The report frames Thompson as the lone untouchable piece as Houston weighs reshaping its roster this offseason.

Why it matters: Designating a single untouchable signals where the franchise sees its long-term core, and putting everyone else in play sets up one of the more active offseasons in the league. For Houston, the willingness to move stars suggests a roster recalibration rather than running it back, which raises the stakes on every incoming offer.

What to watch: Watch which names draw the most aggressive interest and whether Houston converts that openness into an actual deal before the offseason's key dates pass.
