Daryl Morey’s latest trade is another gamble on Mike D’Antoni

My first reaction when the Rockets completed their trade of Ryan Anderson for Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss was purely selfish: I was on vacation and glad that I no longer had to deal with it.

My second reaction is that it’s a puzzling move considering the odds seem low that either Knight or Chriss would see the floor in a playoff matchup against the Warriors. The Rockets would, with everyone healthy, go with their three guards, and young players like Chriss are not usually part of Mike D’Antoni’s postseason strategy.
