Golden State Warriors Receive: F Kenyon Martin Jr., 2023 First-Round Pick (LAC or MIL via HOU), 2025 First-Round Pick (Swap – BKN or HOU)
Houston Rockets receive: G/F Andrew Wiggins
It may be hard to believe now, but there was a time when these teams were rivals.
The Warriors have been on a dynastic run for a decade now. At its height, it looked like nobody could beat them – besides the Rockets, that is.
During the 2017-18 playoffs, the Rockets gave the Warriors all they had in the Western Conference Finals. While other teams were tanking around the Warriors’ timeline, the Rockets rose to the challenge. If not for Chris Paul’s blown hamstring, they may have vanquished them.
Of course, the close is for horseshoes and hand grenades. The Rockets lost the series, and it’s been downhill ever since.
