Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal
In fact, this deal is very conditional for the Rockets.
If Towns is the only big-name veteran they’re bringing in, they should probably pass. As talented as he is, he’s not going to single-handedly lift this organization out of the gutter its currently in.
On the other hand, suppose the Harden reunion rumors have legs. For that matter, the Rockets will have the most cap space in the NBA this summer.
If they sign a high-impact veteran like, say, Fred VanVleet, they may look to flip a switch.
