Houston Rockets Receive: F/C Marcus Morris Sr., 2028 First-Round Pick (LAC)
Los Angeles Clippers Receive: G/F Eric Gordon

Meanwhile, the LA Clippers find themselves on the opposite end of the spectrum from the Rockets. They are squarely in win-now mode.

In fact, the Clippers have one of the best rosters in the entire NBA. Their star tandem of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George makes for one of the best duos in the league. Furthermore, supporting players like Norman Powell, Robert Covington, Ivica Zubac, and Reggie Jackson, among others, round this roster out nicely.

The Clippers are short on draft capital due to accumulating all that talent. Frankly, they don’t need it. This team should view draft picks as little more than a means to acquire impactful veterans.

On the other hand, the Clippers are low on draft capital. That’s precisely why the Rockets are receiving such a distantly conveying pick here. The Clippers don’t have a first-round selection they can legally swap before 2028.

Can a team so low on draft picks really spare one more?
