It&#8217;s smart business by the Rockets, who are doing this for a second-round pick in 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Now, usually a Celtics second-round pick is not worth much, but this is five years out so it&#8217;s a quality asset as far as seconds go. In today\u2019s NBA, these kinds of picks have grown in value as key assets for being in a position to land solid role players. With the Rockets planning on being a playoff team for the next several years, this addition could prove useful in addressing future roster needs.<\/p>\n<p>This trade framework between Houston and Boston may not be new to you. If you watched or listened to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clutchfans.net\/12907\/houston-rockets-podcast-luka-doncic-deaaron-fox-trade-deadline\/\">ClutchFans Podcast on Monday<\/a>, David Weiner, aka BimaThug, literally called out this exact possibility of the Rockets taking on Springer and landing a second-round pick.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I have to give a ton of credit to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BimaThug?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BimaThug<\/a> . He called this exact trade on the podcast the other day. Looking forward to the Jaden Springer breakdown. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/n9HMBdcw0m\">https:\/\/t.co\/n9HMBdcw0m<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ctHk6tKbGd\">pic.twitter.com\/ctHk6tKbGd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ClutchFans (@clutchfans) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/clutchfans\/status\/1887185027789688854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 5, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>As for Springer himself, this was a player I liked quite a bit in the 2021 NBA Draft and I wanted the Rockets to take him at the <strong>Josh Christopher<\/strong> spot. He has not quite panned out just yet. He&#8217;s got good size for a point guard (6-foot-4, 200 pounds) but is not a strong playmaker and has not been incredibly accurate as a shooter (25.0% from three).<\/p>\n<p>But he does have good defensive potential. Does that get Ime Udoka&#8217;s attention at all? Possibly, but the Rockets likely will get an end-of-the-bench look at him for the rest of the season before his contract expires this offseason.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_43570\"  width=\"740\" height=\"416\"  data-origwidth=\"740\" data-origheight=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ftSr1Ii8D4c?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;%23038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;%23038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;%23038;loop=0&#038;%23038;modestbranding=0&#038;%23038;fs=1&#038;%23038;playsinline=0&#038;%23038;controls=1&#038;%23038;color=red&#038;%23038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;%23038;rel=1&#038;%23038;autohide=2&#038;%23038;theme=dark&#038;%23038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clutchfans.net\/12916\/houston-rockets-trade-jaden-springer-boston-celtics\/\">Rockets Pick Up Jaden Springer, Second-Round Pick in Trade with Celtics<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clutchfans.net\/\">ClutchFans<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NBA Trade Deadline is just over 24 hours away but the Houston Rockets have already made a move.
