The OKC/HOU trade broke down to OKC trading Mo Harkless (without aggregation) for Sterling Brown and David Nwaba; Maledon for Burke; Chriss acquired via the min exception. Thunder get a TPE for Favors ($10.18m) and Jerome ($4.22m) – 9:24 PM

Sources: The Houston Rockets are trading David Nwaba, Sterling Brown, Marquese Chriss and Trey Burke to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Derrick Favors, Moe Harkless, Ty Jerome and a 2025 2nd rounder (from Atlanta). ESPN first to report. – 9:13 PM

Fun note (to maybe only me!):
If OKC waives any of Sterling Brown, Trey Burke or Marquese Chriss, they would be eligible to re-sign with the Mavericks bc they went to a third team.
Same with Moe Harkless and the Hawks. Or Kings. – 9:07 PM
