Houston Rockets Trade: 2020 Round 1
2021 Round 1
2021 Round 2
LA Lakers Trade:SF/PF Aaron Gordon, $4.8m (2019 & 2020), $8.0m (2021)
Lakers do this to save some cap and free up a roster spot. Hoping to get 1-2 free agents to round out the roster.
While he's not Blake Griffin, Gordon is a solid starting SF/PF player who's still young, and on a good contract for 3 more years.
Houston will be a strong team, so the picks won't be very high, but there is still some value in the late 1st round and into the 2nd rounds as we saw this year, with us having only 40 total picks available.
Cheers Marko
