The Houston Rockets acquired point guards Pablo Prigioni and K.J. McDaniels in separate trades prior to the deadline, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Rockets sent guard Alexey Shved and two second-round picks to the New York Knicks for Prigioni, sources said.
New York Knicks send away fan-favorite Prigioni who averaged 4.7 points per game and 2.4 assists per game in 43 games for the Knicks this season. He will be immediately listed as the reserve point guard for the Rockets after they were unable to secure Goran Dragic before the trade deadline.
Knicks are stockpiling up some picks to prepare them for this draft ahead and for the future to try and get some sort of assets in order to get other players for their future.
