Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal

Some will be critical of this proposal. The Rockets, they’ll say, are too early in their rebuilding process to acquire a win-now talent like Wiggins.

Of course, they’ll be mistakenly assuming that all rebuilds follow the same trajectory.

For what it’s worth, the Rockets’ situation is somewhat unique as well. After the 2022-23 season, they’ll owe their first-round picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder (with protections) for the next two years. This organization’s incentive to lose will be expiring soon.

Some will insist that, due to those circumstances, this is the worst time for the Rockets to consolidate assets. Perhaps. At the same time, Wiggins, as good as he is, is unlikely to drag the worst team in the NBA out of the lottery. The Rockets should still net a high draft pick after 2022-23 even in the event of this deal.
