With the Rockets at 40-13, their best 53-game start in franchise history, this could be the quietest Rockets deadline in years. However, with Daryl Morey as the GM, anything could happen.

2:00 p.m. - Deadline has passed with the Rockets standing pat. This is the first trade deadline in Daryl Morey’s tenure where he has not made a move on Deadline Day.
2:11 p.m. - David Aldridge says Rockets could go after Joe Johnson, who was traded from the Utah Jazz to the Sacramento Kings today in a three-team deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Johnson will likely be bought out by the Kings.
Rockets have been, and are, very interested in Joe Johnson as a potential add, and have been working on the assumption that he’d be available one way or the other after trade deadline, per source.
