Houston Rockets

Trade Machine Results: NA

Why the Rockets would do it:

They have no choice! The Rockets have virtually no cap space at all. Also, practically every player is off-limits for trading. The will not be able to re-sign free-agent PF, Donatas Montiejunas, or make any possible trade for Kenneth Faried. They are locked in for the 2016-17 season.

Why the Nuggets would do it:

Montiejunas has a huge upside. His game is pretty similar to Jokic’s. He can shoot threes, post up, rebound, pass, and hit free-throws regularly. I am honestly surprised that the Nuggets haven’t signed him yet, as they could certainly afford him, and he is the type of experienced and floor-spreading big-man that they need. Pick him up!
