Rockets trade for Sekou Doumbouya and second-round pick; will release him

In a little bit of an interesting move that happened right in the middle of last night’s game, the Houston Rockets swung a trade with the Brooklyn Nets for forward Sekou Doumbouya and a 2024 second round pick in exchange for $110,000.

Following the trade, the Rockets have decided to waive Doumbouya, meaning for all intents and purposes, they just bought a second-round pick off the Nets for the bargain basement price of $110K.
