The Houston Rockets could be making a bold move by bringing back Russell Westbrook on a veteran minimum deal — and former Rocket Kenny Thomas thinks it’s a smart fit. Westbrook, averaging over 15 points and 6 assists last season and finishing top ten in Sixth Man voting, could thrive as a role player alongside Sengun while adding veteran leadership. The catch? The deal would push them over the cap by $2.2 million — but they could clear space by trading underused guard JD Davidson plus a second-round pick to a team below the cap floor. If it works, Westbrook could elevate their contender status; if not, they’ve got VanVleet and Smart to lean on.
