HOU Gets: Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley, #9, & #39
HOU Gives: Christian Wood, DJ Augustin, Avery Bradley, & Danuel House
Why for HOU? The Rockets are obviously rebuilding so they sell high on Wood and pick up a lottery pick, an early 2nd, and a flyer on Bagley. They may look to flip Hield down the road for another asset if he can recoup some value. He'll have Wall next to him who will hopefully give him some good looks

SAC Gets: Christian Wood, DJ Augustin, Avery Bradley, & Danuel House
SAC Gives: Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley, #9, & #39
Why for SAC? If Vivek is set on wanting to win now and make the playoffs, this might be a trade that helps get them there. Wood gives them a solid talent in the front court who is versatile, long, athletic, and can score, shoot, & defend. He's also only 25 so he can grow with Fox & Haliburton. Bradley gives us a 3&D SG off the bench and House gives us a lower level, 3&D SF who can come off the bench. Augustin would give us deep bench depth at PG.
The big thing to keep in mind is that this would also free up about $40.5 mil in cap space for the 2022 offseason with Fox, Haliburton, Barnes, Wood, Metu, Ramsey, & Woodard still under contract. We could potentially add a big time free agent to round out the core (Fox, Haliburton, Barnes, & Wood). Guys like Durant, Butler, Harden, Beal, LaVine, Smart, Prince, Warren, Covington, A. Gordon, Mik. Bridges, Mil. Bridges, M. Porter, Jar. Jackson, Ayton, Bamba, W. Carter, and Bol Bol will all be free agents that offseason.
