ESPN Sources: The Houston Rockets are trading G Kevin Porter Jr., and two future second-round picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder — who are waiving Porter Jr., immediately. Thunder are sending the Rockets Victor Oladipo and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in the transaction.
The Thunder are acquiring a 2027 second via Minnesota and a 2028 second via Milwaukee in the deal, sources said. Porter Jr., is facing assault charges based on an incident with a girlfriend. OKC is essentially buying the two picks and releasing Porter Jr.
Bobby Marks:
Here’s the math on the OKC/Houston trade:
- OKC will incur a $15.86M cap hit this season and $1M in 2024-25 for Kevin Porter Jr.
- After the Porter Jr. waiver, OKC will have 13 guaranteed contracts and 3 players on partials
- OKC will create a $1.9M trade exception
- Victor Oladipo is on an expiring $9.45M contract and is recovering from knee surgery
- Jeremiah Robinson-Earl has a $1.9M guaranteed salary this year and a $2M team option next year
- If Oladipo is waived, Houston will have 13 guaranteed contracts and 2 partials
- Houston will create a $4.5M trade exception
