Are the Rockets still rebuilding or what? (self.nba)

This Rockets rebuild must be the strangest I’ve ever seen.

They spend a couple years gathering young talent, then suddenly they are in nearly every rumor for a star player or veteran role player, and give high salaries (too high IMO) to FVV and Dillon Brooks.

What am I missing?

Maybe they’re “rebuilding to be competitive and get people to buy tickets” instead of “rebuilding to win it all.” Tilman Fertitta needs to recoup his losses from his hotel during the pandemic, after all.
