There are some elite shooters on the market who would fix Houston's offensive struggles.
The Houston Rockets haven't made any significant moves this offseason when it comes to player movement. However, the team has a glaring offensive problem that could be fixed with a simple trade.The Rockets did a good job drafting a need in Reed Sheppard, a two-way shooter out of Kentucky. However, there's no guarantee that he will pan out, and they could always go for another wing/forward who can space the floor.
Houston could use the 6-foot-6 wing, as he can space the floor for the Rockets as a guard or forward. Kispert is also only 25, so he just barely fits the Rockets' young core.Feb 14, 2024; Memphis, Tennessee, USA; Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard reacts after a three-point basket during the first half against the Houston Rockets at FedExForum.
The Grizzlies are in an interesting spot coming into this season. They missed the postseason last year largely due to injuries. With a fully healthy roster, they'll be gunning for the playoffs. However, trading Kennard could make room for more opportunities for GG Jackson II, Vince Williams, and Jake LaRavia.Mar 23, 2024; New York, New York, USA; Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson takes a three point shot in the second quarter against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Johnson has been a consistent threat from deep, while also providing above-average defense on the other end. He's the epitome of a veteran role player, spotting up when needed and giving solid scoring on the other end. In Brooklyn, he shot 39.1% from deep last season and is still just 28 years old. The Rockets could work him in off of the bench as an experienced presence, having made the 2021 NBA Finals with the Phoenix Suns.
