Would this trade make sense for the Houston Rockets?
The Houston Rockets are the ultimate rebuilding team in the NBA. They have set away superstars over the last year and have moved completely toward the future. Jalen Green is a capable rookie heading into the season and has some high expectations right away for the Rockets.
Wall was the acquisition when Houston had to move Westbrook but it is unlikely that he is a long-term option.
When looking at the pieces Houston will get back, Bledsoe brings many options. He could be flipped given his veteran nature and also might not be a valued piece for the Rockets.
Kennard fits the bill as a young sharpshooter who has made great strides recently. He would be able to develop further in a much-extended role with a team like Houston. The main intrigue of this deal is moving Wall and his contract in order to continue to get younger for the future.
