Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets are gearing up for an interesting summer. This team is focused on improvement.

With that in mind, Williamson is a risky proposition. With his tendency to get hurt, the Rockets could be forfeiting assets only to find themselves back at the bottom of the NBA standings.

On the other hand, whoever this team selects with the fourth overall pick in the upcoming draft is unlikely to be a win-now contributor.

If the Rockets are narrowing their focus to a shorter window, Williamson is more likely to contribute next year than any one of Amen Thompson, Brandon Miller, or Cameron Whitmore.

Meanwhile, that fourth pick would probably be the basis of any Williamson deal. With his price having depreciated, this is a solid buy-low opportunity for the Rockets.

Of course, that same opportunity presents itself to every team on this list.
