Rockets and Lakers are teams in completely different stages. The Rockets are in the reconstruction stage. The Lakers are teams led by LeBron James and still have a chance to compete for the championship in the new season.
So what trades are suitable for driving between the Rockets and the Lakers? US media Lindberg listed the trading moves that can help the two teams before training camp:
Lakers get: Sterling Brown , Kenyon Jr. Martin
Rockets get: Kendrick Nunn , 2023 Bulls second round draft pick
This is not a big deal, but it will be an action that can give both sides benefits. The Lakers just strengthened backcourt players such as Dennis Schroder and Beverly in this offseason, which also means that the Lakers do have good enough depth in the backcourt, but they definitely need to strengthen the outside threat.
In this deal, the Lakers can get two strong players, Sterling Brown and Kenyon Martin Jr., who have good outside shooting ability. Among them, Sterling Brown once scored 42.3% three-point shooting percentage in a single season. Martin Jr. is also a player who can perform 36% three-point shooting percentage in his career.
As for the Rockets who can get a young scorer like Kendrick Nunn and a future second-round draft pick in this deal, although the Rockets do not particularly need to strengthen a backcourt scorer like Kendrick Nunn, it is still a very good move to send two players who have little impact on the team's future development to exchange for Nunn and future second-round draft picks.
