Houston Rockets
Some may question the inclusion of the Houston Rockets. After all, this has been one of the worst teams in the NBA for several years in a row.
The Rockets are rebuilding. Is it really time to start adding solid veterans?
Well, if you’re reading the tea leaves, that’s what the Rockets seem intent on doing. This team just hired Ime Udoka as their head coach.
Meanwhile, the Rockets enter this summer with the most cap space in the NBA.
Why not spend it on Barnes? This team won’t be thinking about fit in free agency. They’ll be looking for veterans to bolster their core at every position.

Barnes would be a suitable addition from that perspective. Of course, Barnes himself may prefer to land somewhere with better playoff odds.
If so, keep an eye on this next team.
