After Victor Oladipo went to the Heat, these are the players that the Rockets got from trading James Harden
Grimacing face
Dante Exum
Rodions Kurucs
Kelly Olynyk
Avery Bradley
That gotta be the worst fucking return ever
They ended up with a boat load of unprotected first-round picks though. The most appealing are the Nets' first-round pick in 2024 and 2026. They'll also have three first-round picks in 2021. As well as the Nets' unprotected first in 2022 (likely a late first) and the Bucks unprotected first in 2023 (likely a late first).
I know it's not much right now but we'll see how it plays out. What if we land an all-star player with the Nets' unprotected first in 2024 and 2026? What will help us the most right now is if we win the 2021 NBA Lottery and have the #1 pick in the 2021 draft. A 14% chance. Cade Cunningham would be a no brainer. But if we end up with our top four protected pick that will help.
We'll also have three first-round picks in the upcoming 2021 NBA Draft. Portland's, Milwaukee's and our own.
When you're in a rebuild like the Rockets are right now it requires patience. I understand the situation, It's not pretty but it's not terrible.
