Not sure if the coaching staff is perfectly fine with a big that is just a rim runner and doesn't have to spread the floor, but if they're looking for a guy that can do both, shouldn't Christian Wood be the ideal trade target. He's expiring, likely not on the Rockets timeline and shouldn't be anywhere near expensive as someone like Collins to trade for. Collins isn't a natural 5 anyway. Great offensive fit and he's got good enough length to be an ok rim protector. Get him in the summer so he has the full offseason to work on his defense. Dinwiddie is supposedly a bad defender and he's looking fine in this system. Length helps a lot. Better version of KP offensively and the guy actually rim runs at less than half the cost.
Maybe trade either Powell or Maxi's expiring + a pick? Or apart of some bigger deal. Not sure how the Rockets feel about doing deals with division rivals. Should have tried harder to get him when he left Detroit. I suppose it's possible they didn't like the fit with KP back then, but that's not a factor anymore.
