The Rockets are looking to beef up on the margins. Houston acquired swingman Iman Shumpert in a three-team trade Wednesday, with the Cavaliers and Kings also getting involved. Cleveland received Brandon Knight, Marquese Chriss, and a lottery-protected first-round pick in the deal, while the Kings come away with Alec Burks. The Cavs are also sending Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin to Houston. (Those two will have to be involved in a separate transaction, but for the sake of simplicity, we’re acknowledging them here.) It’s a mostly sensible move for all parties involved, so let’s grade the deal for each team.
