2. Jae'Sean Tate

Few NBA players work harder than Tate. It pains us to suggest that he should be traded so often. Yet...here we are. Again.

It's just that pesky 30.6% career three-point percentage. Tate is a poor shooter. Every summer, we hear rumors that he's been working on his form. We're sure he is, but the results never seem to show on the court.

A team with better spacing could make great use of Tate. He guards multiple positions, and he can make a play on the ball. Offensively, Tate is capable of getting to the rim, and he has good passing instincts.

That's fine, but the Rockets have several players who can score inside and shoot. They need players for those players to pass to who can connect on open threes. Tate would be better served on a team that counts shooting as a strength.
