Of all the Bones trade ideas, I think this one might be my favorite so far for a few different reason. First of all, from the Nuggets perspective I think this gets you exactly what you were looking for. A defensive minded bench piece with impressive versatility and a late first round pick as a sweetener. I also love the idea of the "reunion" that would be bringing Kenyon Martin Jr. to the team his dad played most of his career for. I also like this move both from a Bones and a Rockets perspective as well. Bones clearly wants a bigger, or at very least, more free role on a different team and where better than the rebuilding Rockets. He will get a ton of freedom to play his game and develop while taking on a big role offensively. As for Houston, I think it is becoming more and more evident that KPJ is not the solution at PG and Jalen Green isn't providing anything as a lead guard himself. Bones isn't an elite playmaker or table setter by any means but he has certainly showed glimpses of it and would be worth giving the point guard spot to on this young team. While the first round pick addition may seem a bit steep at first glance, it is via the Bucks making it a lock for one of the last few picks of the first round as well as one of three FRPs that the Rockets have, allowing them to be a little bit liberal with them. At some point you can only have so many picks before you need to get aggressive and take some risks on building a roster that is ready to play.
