The Los Angeles Lakers have allegedly traded Lou Williams to the Houston Rockets for Corey Brewer and a first-round pick, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical. The move adds another proficient scorer to the Rockets' torrent of 3-point shooters and gets the Lakers a first-round pick in return for taking Brewer, who makes somewhat more amongst now and next season when his contract terminates in the meantime as Williams' arrangement.

For the Houston Rockets, it doesn't address their greatest need, defense, however, it shores up a shortcoming. Brewer has been not able to stay aware of his profound partners under Mike D'Antoni, and rivals would routinely play off him, sending more help at James Harden. With Williams, not only will opponents be not able to do as such as Lou Williams is a strong shooter, however, the Houston Rockets can make due with Harden on the bench more. At the point when Harden sits, the offensive rating for the Rockets drops to 105, a great check for a few teams, however, insignificant for Houston reports, CBS Sports.

Lou Williams brings the capacity to make on his own, as he is in the 94th percentile in pick and roll circumstances, and 92nd when factoring passes. That number is probably going to go up when not encompassed by the terrifying Los Angeles Lakers offense, and Lou Williams has high checks in seclusion and spot-up. The safeguard, obviously, is a worry, yet the Rockets' guard isn't as terrible as one would think (fourteenth in the NBA and eleventh since Jan, 1), and they can simply depend on starters in the playoffs.

This arrangement doesn't shift the scene in the Western Conference or help the Rockets coordinate contrastingly with Golden State. Be that as it may, it addresses a shortcoming with a quality, and includes just surrendering a pick they don't need. The Rockets have reinforced their reserves with youthful players the most recent couple of years with Montrezl Harrell, Sam Dekker and Clint Capela. They did not need another pick making a beeline for Rio Grande Valley reports, NESN.
