The Houston Rockets are "willing to get uncomfortable" with the trade wishes of James Harden and Russell Westbrook and feel no pressure to expedite a deal ahead of the start of the 20-21 season.

Rafael Stone replaced Daryl Morey as general manager and remains adamant the Rockets won't trade either player unless their asking price is met.

Harden and Westbrook both have $133 million over three years, including player options in the final season.

While the Rockets realize Harden has more trade value for Westbrook, they won't deal the latter unless they receive young talent or first round picks. The Rockets believe they would be selling low on Westbrook based on his current market following a disappointing performance in the NBA's restart in Orlando.
