Meh.

The Rockets should try to trade Gordon, Oladipo, Tucker and House.

I would deal all of those guys for expiring contracts and draft considerations.

Then during the summer use the cap space to sigh John Collins to the max.

That gives you a 4/5 duo of Wood and Collins.

The Rockets would have a front line with a lot of athleticism and mobility. Both can score inside or outside.

Collins is 6'9" with a 6'11" wingspan. I would like him to be a couple inches longer but he is adequately sized. He also is a good defender and blocks shots and rebounds. He can play some small ball center as well.

Both Collins and Wood can shoot 3's as well.

The only real weakness of the duo is that neither of them are great playmakers for their teammates.

Still that would give the Rockets a front court of someone 23 and 25 years old.

Collins is expected to leave as a free agent and doesn't want to be in Atlanta.

That would give the Rockets two potential cornerstones to build around.

The Rockets will likely get a decent draft pick (theirs or Miami) and will have all their future picks to target wings and guards in the draft.

Also, a Wood and Collins duo may not be so good that it keeps the Rockets out of the lottery in 2022 where the top of the lottery is loaded and the Rockets can target a potential franchise guard.

I hope that will work out. Is Collins a hot head?
