Rebuilding an NBA team requires a balancing act. It’s not an easy one. If you’re focused on the draft, you’ll be bringing in new talent for several years in a row.
Sometimes, it ends up replacing the old talent. Just look at the Houston Rockets. K.J. Martin has flashed a solid amount of potential.
At the same time, Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason both look to be ahead of him in this team’s long-term depth chart.
Imagine if they draft another wing this summer – the Rockets have two picks in the upcoming draft.
Meanwhile, Martin will soon be due for an extension. The Rockets may not be in any position to give it to him.
Could the Cleveland Cavaliers?
