Trade Alert: Houston Rockets’ KJ Martin Joins Los Angeles Clippers for Future Draft Picks – Analysis and Reactions

2023-07-02 09:29:00

It’s been moving in Houston for two days, and last night it was the Clippers who took advantage of it. The interior KJ Martin takes the direction of Los Angeles, and in exchange the Rockets recover a Tchoupi key ring and a box of matches. Houston, we have a deal.

With the arrivals of Jock Landale and Jeff Green (47) then the expected progressions of Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason, the Rockets had to downsize their racquet. Exit Usman Garuba, never on his plate since his arrival, and therefore exit KJ Martin, son of Kenyon Martin and author of a good thirty posters since his arrival in town via the Draft 2020.

12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds last season, holder for a good part of the season alongside Sengun and Jabari on the frontcourt, Kenyon Junior is known to be one of the most effective and spectacular dunkers in the NBA. On the Clippers side, we have been struggling to find real interiors for a few seasons, and if Ivica Zubac should not make old bones in LA, we therefore bring in a kid much more skillful in terms of relaxation than the big and big Croatian pivot.

With the Clippers KJ should have fun and enjoy the caviars of a Russell Westbrook signed last night at a discount, and in Houston we therefore decided to turn the page quite curtly. We continue, and we will see in a few months who is doing the best in this case!
