In a minor move, the Brooklyn Nets will take a flier on the Houston Rockets’ rarely used wing, K.J. McDaniels. Here are the NBA Trade Grades for the move.

The Brooklyn Nets entered the 2017 NBA Trade Deadline searching for fliers and future first round draft picks. The Houston Rockets entered the deadline searching for added depth, but needed to get back under the salary cap if they wanted to do so.

According to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the two sides were able to accomplish their minor goals just before Thursday’s deadline, with the Rockets agreeing to send rarely used wing K.J. McDaniels to the Nets.

The Vertical’s Bobby Marks reports that Houston will likely be getting a future protected second round draft pick (No. 31-55) in return.

This deal doesn’t really move the needle much for either side, but in the interest of being thorough, here are NBA Trade grades for both sides.
