In a lot of ways the Rockets are sort of like the Mavs now. I think the Rockets are better, but they don't have a lot of creators. Supposedly they really like Sheppherd, but even so it seems like a stretch for him to fill in as the lead ball handler for a contender at this stage. Aaron Holiday was best in the role that he was being pegged for. A fringe player who can fill in at times and mostly play pretty well. Thompson is ahead of Flagg as a creator, I think, but a lot to ask for him to be the prime creator just like it will be for the Mavs and Flagg.
They have some really attractive pieces to trade, but that would be a short term move. Very interesting.
