Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal
Well, let’s be honest. The Rockets are not the Warriors.
Sure, they’re hoping to take a step forward next season. They probably will. The Rockets have the most cap space in the NBA. Kuminga won’t be their only acquisition this summer.
With that said, this team should still be thinking about the future. Kuminga fits from that point of view. They could afford to give him a higher usage than the Warriors have, and see if he can break out.

The Rockets may be banking on Kuminga’s pre-existing chemistry with Jalen Green as well. They were teammates on the G-League Ignite just a few years ago.
If they can reignite that spark, it could be a huge blessing for both Kuminga and the Rockets.
Should the Warriors risk watching him blossom elsewhere?
