The NBA trade rumors continue as the Houston Rockets try to look for a team that would take on Ty Lawson.
Teams that are focused on present performance would pass as Lawson is having one of his worst years. Teams that see Lawson as a possibility would probably consider.
The Sacramento Kings may have to assess their playoff chances soon and corollary to that, their free agents, specifically Rajon Rondo.
The team will try its best to hold on to its stars, in the same way they have refused to trade DeMarcus Cousins. However, Rondo is leading the league in assists and with record cap space available in the summer, Rondo will clearly have the most options.
Teams like the New York Knicks who need a point guard would likely get enamored with the former All-Star again. As discussed in the Knicks Subreddit, Rondo could be a good fit for the Knicks despite his lack of outside shooting. His preference to penetrate and pass would be beneficial for Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis.
The lure of the Big Apple could be hard to ignore, and the Sacramento Kings could be better off looking towards a face familiar to coach George Karl.
Hoops Habit named Sacramento as one of the (limited) possible destinations for Ty Lawson and this is primarily because of his bond with George Karl.
The article mentioned to "never rule out the bond between Ty Lawson and Kings' head coach George Karl. Dating back to their Denver days, Lawson had the best years of his career under Karl's reign."
Also, the struggles of Ty Lawson may be temporary, as he is still young enough to turn his career back. The only problem is that the Houston Rockets cannot afford to be patient. With Karl's full support, Lawson could return to form and a combo with him and Cousins "could be lethal."
The Rockets are not asking for much and veteran Caron Butler and a future second round pick could do the trick, as HH suggested.
