Rockets reportedly pursued a trade for Dean Wade

Dean Wade is good. Good non-trade / signing to calibrate the front office’s thought process and strategy.

 

ida been happy with Wade. Like his game.
I’m happy with DFS. Like his game.

 

Of course they're interested in Dean Wade. His metrics are incredible.

If you want to know who the Rockets FO thinks is good, and who they don't, just use this table (from the analytics guy who popularized RAPM-like metrics): https://xrapm.com/table_pages/RAPM_29y.html

Check out where all the veterans this FO has acquired or tried to acquire are on the list. FVV, Dillon, Brook Lopez, Jock Landale, Aaron Holiday, Dorian Finney Smith, Clint Capela, and of course KD. Not a coincidence.
