They say you should be careful what you wish for. Sometimes, you end up getting it. The NBA can learn a lesson from that.
That’s something the Houston Rockets should think about. This team has been tanking by design for the last several seasons. It’s been painful. Has it been worth it?
It depends. The Rockets were surely hoping to land the rights to draft Victor Wembanyama. The San Antonio Spurs got them.
The Rockets will be selecting fourth overall in the upcoming draft. Still, it’s not all gloom and doom.
The Rockets head into this summer with the most cap space in the NBA. They could sign impact free agents, or, they could trade into that space.
Could they trade for Kristaps Porzingis of the Washington Wizards?
