Through all of the noise, the Houston Rockets stayed relatively quiet, making two minor moves. The first was exchanging second-round picks with the Boston Celtics, as Jaden Springer was the only player involved in the deal. He would eventually be waived, per Mike Scotto of HoopsHype.

Lost in much of the trade noise was the Spurs landing star guard De'Aaron Fox. Fox now pairs alongside second-year sensation Victor Wembanyama to give San Antonio a legitimate star duo.
