Houston Rockets
Seeing as they are rebuilding in the post-James Harden era, the Houston Rockets are definitely a potential landing spot for Kevin Knox. Finding athletic, versatile players is something Houston has looked to do this offseason and they did so in the draft, adding the likes of Jalen Green, Josh Christopher, and others.
Kevin Knox is only 22-years-old and while he has not played well early on in his career, he was definitely one of the more talked about prospects coming out of college in 2018. The Rockets have always been known to have a great development coaching staff on hand, so maybe they would be able to find something in Knox that the New York Knicks were unable to.
Not to mention, Houston definitely has room for a versatile, athletic wing player on their roster. Eric Gordon and Danuel House Jr. are two veterans the Houston Rockets are going to look to phase out of their rotations/roster at some point this season, which is why Knox could have an opportunity to play here.
They could potentially get him from the Knicks for nothing more than a future second-round pick and there is still upside to be had with the former 9th overall pick. Being 6’7” with a 6’11” wingspan, the Houston Rockets could look to mold Knox into a “3-and-D” type of player on the wing, especially since he has shot 34.5% from deep through his first three seasons in the league.
