Before the NBA trade deadline this past season, the Los Angeles Lakers completed two separate trades with the Houston Rockets. The first one was guard Lou Williams in exchange for a 2017 first-round draft pick and Corey Brewer.
The second trade was a salary dump for the Lakers, as they were able to haul point guard Marcelo Huertas’ contract to the Rockets in exchange for Tyler Ennis.
Huertas still had one year remaining on his non-guaranteed contract, but was immediately waived by the Rockets and was not picked up by any other NBA team to finish out the season.
