Rockets reportedly want Harrison Barnes. I could see the Kings seek some youth, in Cam Whitmore! Jeff Green is a veteran that could have some minutes of injuries would occur. He is also expiring, which is a plus on the deal, for the Kings to clear cap space in order to resign Monk and potentially go after another piece.
The Rockets get a veteran piece to help them secure a play-in spot, as well as play backup forward minutes. Barnes’ catch and shoot ability pairs nicely with the system the Rockets have.
