What did Rockets receive for Kevin Porter Jr.? Trade package from Thunder disclosed

The Houston Rockets are going all in on the team's new look, which doesn't involve Kevin Porter Jr. being a part of it. They traded the troubled guard and two future second-round draft picks on Tuesday to the OKC Thunder, who will reportedly immediately wave Porter, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Beyond freeing themselves of a messy situation, what did the Rockets receive for Porter? They acquired Victor Oladipo and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.

Kevin Porter, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree strangulation and third-degree assault for a Sept. 11 incident, averaged 19.2 points and 5.7 assists per game last season.

However, OKC will reportedly waive Kevin Porter, although the Thunder will still need to pay his $16.9 million contract, Wojnarowski reported. The Thunder will acquire a 2027 second-round pick (via Minnesota Timberwolves) and a 2028 second-round pick (via Milwaukee Bucks).

From this deal, the OKC Thunder have a huge array of picks to utilize in future trades that can help strengthen the team in the coming years.

Besides Houston making this move to focus its vision on the core players it has now, it can be seen as the organization wanting to steer clear of any off-court distraction pertaining to Porter's case.

With the exit of Kevin Porter, what do the Rockets gain from the newly acquired players?

The Rockets will add a decent roster piece in Victor Oladipo, who remains a solid contributor in the league. Meanwhile, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl spent two seasons with the Thunder and can provide size at the rim.

At the same time, it is yet to be seen if the Houston Rockets will flip the two players for other pieces or assets throughout the season. Be that as it may, these are two solid rotational pieces for the team to fortify its depth in the season.

Looking at the team's roster, the Houston Rockets have a balanced slate of quality players who can score and defend, as opposed to their limited depth last season.
