As part of a comprehensive post at Bleacher Report ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline, NBA writer Greg Swartz compiled a list of three targets — dream, realistic, and sneaky — for each team.
For the rebuilding Houston Rockets, the premise is arguably flawed, in that he identifies “point guard help“ as a primary need. He writes:
The Rockets need point guard help, especially if they refuse to play John Wall this season (or ever again). Houston ranks last in the NBA in turnover percentage (16.7 percent) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.35), numbers that can be expected with young, shoot-first guards spending so much time orchestrating the offense.
