Houston Rockets

Seeing as no one else is going to do it….

HOU gets: Enes Kanter

OKC gets: James Harden

OKC would have to toss in a few future first rounders, but who doesn’t want to see this again?

Dion Waiters put me in my place this postseason, but he is not the answer at the 2. Roberson is a very solid player who seemed to find his 3PT shot this postseason as well, but I still think he’s better off the bench in a Sefolosha type role.

Bringing Harden back to OKC would definitely convince KD to sign long term, and come 2017, Westbrook. The gang would be back together, and the Warriors would have a tough time building the dynasty they’re beginning to build.

With Houston set to lose potentially Donatas Motiejunas, Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, and Michael Beasley; Houston needs to add young bigs.

I truly believe Clint Capela and Montrezl Harrell are the frontcourt of the future for H-Town, but Daryl Morey is as unpredictable of a GM as they come. Kanter helps offset the assured departure of Howard, and in this case, Harden; bringing his scoring prowess and elite rebounding ability.

Paired with one of Capela or Harrell, they can help mask his defensive liabilities.
