Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal 

If there are any reservations about this deal on Houston’s part, they’ll owe to the fact that this organization is clearly tanking. 

In fact, the Rockets have the worst record in the NBA. This team is dreaming of Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson, not an elite 3-and-D wing. What if Anunoby helps them win a little too much? 

It’s worth the risk. Firstly, Anunoby is a player who thrives alongside elite playmakers. He’s more of a floor raiser than a ceiling raiser.

The Rockets would likely still finish the season with bottom-3 lottery odds following this deal.

Secondly, the Rockets don’t own their own draft pick in the 2024 draft. This team has an incentive to “flip the switch” next season, and adding Anunoby would help them do so. 

Should the Raptors help them achieve that goal?
