Golden State Warriors Receive: Russell Westbrook

Houston Rockets Receive: Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney, Jordan Poole

Both the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets have unfavorable contracts on their books between Andrew Wiggins and Russell Westbrook. Each player still has three years remaining on their current contract but Westbrook is set to earn $11.8 million more in 2020-21.
