Well, this is the big question for Rockets. Does it really pay off to be borderline playoffs or does it make more sense to sell remaining assets for picks? None of the guys they are getting can be a franchise cornerstone. I would seriously try to maximize players for draft assets if I was them (assuming they trade Harden) and try to tank hard this sorry year. They actually keep their own pick in 2021 if it is 1-4.
This is now me daydreaming. My proposal for Rocco: Kleber+Brunson+#18+future seconds
Trade Curry for Richardson
Luka, Wright
Richardson, Burke
THJ, DFS, Jackson
Covington, Millsap
KP, Powell
That would be one awesome unit with a ton of flexibility for 2021 to get that secondary creator that is still missing in FA. Great defense (when we play Richardson, DFS and RoCo on wings) while we wouldn't lose much of shooting on offense.
