The acquisition of Victor Oladipo in the four-team blockbuster James Harden trade was definitely an eye-opener for Houston Rockets fans, being that the fanbase wanted draft capital and a young superstar in return for the Rockets franchise superstar. Although, Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers rejected the trade involving All-Star Ben Simmons and rookie Tyrese Maxey, Rockets general manager Rafael Stone definitely got a good haul as a plan B in the blockbuster deal.
Acquiring three first-round picks from the Brooklyn Nets to go along with four first-round swaps and one first rounder from Cleveland via Milwaukee was a great amount of draft capital.
