The Houston Rockets made several moves over 24 hours or so leading up to the trade deadline. This was to be expected as Daryl Morey is always looking at ways to improve the roster and has rarely gone a trade deadline without making a move.
Now, the team was countlessly linked to several players for the days and weeks leading up to the deadline. So, while the fact that they were going to make a move was obvious, who they were going to make a move for was up in the air.
Ultimately, the Houston Rockets got the party started later Wednesday night when they traded Brandon Knight, Marquese Chriss, and a lottery protected first round pick to the Cavaliers.
