Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Sorry for the delay on this one, guys. It’s been a busy two weeks in which I had to study for and take a four-hour professional exam, wrap up my own teaching with students before the holiday, and still find the time to make some holiday magic happen for an 8-year-old little girl.
Anyway, these results are from when we asked which Rockets player you thought most likely to be traded. Tari Eason, Reed Sheppard, Fred VanVleet, Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun or Aaron Holiday. Here’s what you said:
Tari Eason dominated this poll, in which his expiring contract and reported refusal to sign an extension were the most likely determining factors. Fred VanVleet finished pretty high for a guy with a no-trade clause, though he could choose to waive it for the right deal. Jabari Smith Jr. has a poison pill at the moment, and Reed has been steadily improving by the week it seems. Alperen Sengun has been connected in some rumors for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but he finished at the bottom of our poll.
Tari Eason it is. We’ll be checking back close to the NBA Trade Deadline. Thanks for voting. Be back soon with more Reacts.
