Add Draymond Green to the Rockets. What happens?
People often argue that Draymond’s success is highly context-specific. Some fits are easier to imagine than others (i.e. Blazers). But imagine putting him on the Rockets, replacing say, Eric Gordon. What does their offense look like? How can you make the personnel work?

The Rockets would cruise to a title with Draymond. They’d go like 16-5 in the postseason.

Draymond would not be a playmaker very often and that's what makes him valuable. Harden and Westbrook will have the ball all the time. Draymond's defense obviously is alltime great but his outside shooting is ineffectual and getting rid of Gordon means having to replace his great outside shooting. Interior defense would be great with Capela as well, but the offense would be worse as Tucker can shoot better than Draymond.

Yeah, offensively the fit is not good, but he's such a good defender it wouldn't matter come playoff time. Rockets roll to a title. (Assuming they don't kill one another)
