Obviously, this is a much different situation. The Los Angeles Clippers are in win-now mode, and the Houston Rockets are rebuilding.
At the same time, they hope to be done with their process after this summer. The Rockets will start to owe their first-round picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder following this offseason. Suddenly, this team has an incentive to win.
Adding Brogdon would help them. No, he’s not a pure point guard. Still, he’s a more reliable table-setter than Kevin Porter Jr.
Meanwhile, he offers the type of scoring punch the Rockets seem to covet at the position.

What would they send Boston? We’re not sure. Something could potentially be built around KJ Martin and the 20th pick in the upcoming draft. Alternatively, this could get done in a three-team deal.
Any team that covets Brogdon enough should be able to find a way to land him.
