The Houston Rockets are reeling in the wake of losing Fred VanVleet for the season. Could they turn disaster into a bold move to remake the roster and contend for a championship right now? If so, their top target might just be Boston Celtics guard Derrick White.

The Houston Rockets know that well; Fred VanVleet was so valuable to this team because of his ability to play on-and-off the ball, to run the offense and space the court for others.
