Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal 

Yes. Reuniting with Olynyk makes sense for Houston in any event. 

They shouldn’t blow the fourth overall pick on a reliable starter. That’s too valuable of a future-focused asset to use on a one-year outlook. On the other hand, the Rockets should be open for business with the 20th overall pick. 

Olynyk would be a good target. Even if the Rockets don’t draft Thompson, this is a portable role player who can complement any team. Olynyk’s floor spacing and team defense will complement any squad.

On the other hand, if they do draft Thompson? Suddenly, Olynyk becomes the perfect target. His shooting ability will maximize Thompson’s time on the floor.

Either way, the Rockets should be interested in this deal. 

Should the Jazz?
