The latest NBA trading news, the Rocket Thunder 8-man super big trade !!!

1. The Thunder traded Derek Favors, Ty Jerome, Maurice Hacles, Theo Maledon and a 2025 second-round pick from the Hawks to the Rockets, and the Rockets reportedly will receive another $6.3 million in cash in this deal;

2. The Rockets traded Nwaba, Sterling Brown, Trey Burke and Marquise Chris to the Thunder. The Thunder get two trading exceptions at the same time.

According to Jonathan Fagan, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle, the focus of the Rockets deal is on that draft pick, which is protected from the 30th to 40th picks, and if protected in 2025, the Rockets will get a 2026 second-round pick from the Hawks or the 76ers.

Player salaries in this deal:

Favors $10.2 million, Harkless $4.6 million, Maledon $1.9 million, Jerome $4.2 million;

Nwaba $5 million, Brown $3 million, Burke $3.4 million and Chris $2.2 million.

Summary: Thunder gets two deal exceptions and reduces the total salary to $10 million below the luxury tax line; The Rockets would land a second-round pick with a $1 million salary, and Favors would become a valuable backup center, or could serve as a chip in a follow-up deal to get some cash.

After the trade is over, both the Rockets and Thunder still have 18 guaranteed contracts, and they need to reduce the roster to 15 on October 18; Harkless can now trade after being traded to the Thunder by the Hawks; With the exception of Maledon and Nwaba, the other players involved in the trade are on expiring contracts, and both have team options for next season.

In fact, this deal has not changed in strength for both teams, and the biggest use is to save money for the Thunder, and the Rockets get a second round.
