The pick is protected 31 through 40, according to The Athletic. If it falls within the protected territory, the Rockets would get the second-best 2026 second-rounder between Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City, and Philadelphia 76ers.
The deal helps the Thunder save money by dropping them $10 million under the luxury tax threshold.
Favors has the wealthiest contract of all the players involved ($10.18 million in 2022-23), while only Maledon and Nwaba are under contract for the 2023-24 season, both team options.
