Houston Rockets general manager Rafael Stone addressed the media Friday, one day after the team sent Eric Gordon to the Los Angeles Clippers in one of two deals for the Rockets made just under the wire before Thursday's NBA trade deadline.
Stone detailed the Rockets' thinking in coming to a deal with the Clippers, in which Houston now has the right to select the better of Milwaukee and Los Angeles's 2023 first-round pick, along with their own top lottery pick, which could result in potential franchise-changing prospects in Victor Wembanyama or Scoot Henderson.
