Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Rockets don’t seem entirely concerned with team culture.
That’s not intended as a criticism. Different organizations have different operating principles. For a long time, it’s felt as if the Rockets prioritize talent above all else.
If that’s true, they should be happy to acquire Morant. In fact, he and Jalen Green would be forming the most athletic backcourt in the NBA. The rim pressure this team could force opponents to deal with would be overwhelming.
With that in mind – if the pick lands second, the Rockets should probably take Scoot Henderson. After all, they’re giving up a lot of assets here.

Otherwise, going all-in on Morant should give this organization some direction moving forward.
As long as he can have a more normal season next year, that is.
