—————————————————————————

Why Houston Does This?

Houston doesn’t have a clear number one on their roster and getting an all star and all nba level player in Lauri who can bring size and spacing in their starting lineup. Also getting Huerter to add more sharpshooting to their bench.

Rockets Ideal Starting Lineup:

Fred VanVleet, Reed Sheppard, Lauri Markkanen, Jabari Smith Jr, Alperen Şengün

Backup Five:

Amen Thompson, Kevin Huerter, Cam Whitmore, Tari Eason, Steven Adams

—————————————————————————

Why Sacramento Does This?

Sabonis has shown that he isn’t a true rim protector so having Kessler be there to improve there paint defense next to Sabonis and also adds a 3&D threat in Dillon Brooks to add better perimeter defense.

Kings Ideal Starting Lineup:

De’Aaron Fox, Demar Derozan, Dillon Brooks, Keegan Murray, Domantas Sabonis

Backup Five:

Devin Carter, Malik Monk, Keon Ellis, Trey Lyles, Walker Kessler
