The Rockets and Thunder reportedly executed an eight-player trade on Thursday that will carry noteworthy cap implications for both teams entering the 2022–23 season.
Oklahoma City is reportedly trading center Derrick Favors, guard Ty Jerome, forward Moe Harkless, guard Theo Maledon and a 2025 second-round pick (via the Hawks) to Houston in exchange for forward Marquese Chriss and guards David Nwaba, Sterling Brown and Trey Burke, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Wojnarowski added that the Thunder will gain two trade exceptions and drop about $10 million under the luxury tax as a result of the deal while the Rockets will acquire an additional trade asset for collecting another $1 million in salary.
