The Houston Rockets currently have Victor Oladipo’s expiring contract and a considerable amount of future draft picks, which may not be as valuable to them as to the teams that are entertaining the idea of a fresh start, since it seems as though they finally put together a competent roster they probably would no longer have significant minutes to allocate to develop anymore younger talent. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to give up some of the existing assets to get Alex Caruso to consolidate the team’s defensive potency even further?
It really depends on the costs for me because he’s one of the best perimeter defenders in the League with a nice little tie to the area, however he has also been injury prone and the best ability is availability so I don’t know how much runway he has to contribute. Assuming the cost isn’t too high, I don’t see having FVV, Amen, and Holiday as a deterrent. You should always strive to have the best available player on the roster when aiming to compete and it would help either directly on the court, positively influence and motivate existing players (e.g., Jeff Green on Bari), OR as a tradable asset down the line.
