Houston Rockets
Suggesting that the Houston Rockets sign a big-money veteran may seem counterintuitive. This has been one of the worst teams in the NBA for several years.
By all accounts, the Rockets want to change that. This team starts sending protected first-round picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder after this summer. Meanwhile, they enter this offseason with the most cap space in the NBA.
They could also use Middleton. The Rockets have suffered from a lack of shooting in recent years. Middleton would be a massive upgrade to this team’s rotation.
Still, the fit isn’t perfect. The Rockets may want to make some smaller investments in their bid to improve.

Meanwhile, it’s entirely possible that Middleton won’t be interested in joining this young, rebuilding club.
In that event, he may want to stay where he is.
