Through all of the noise, the Houston Rockets stayed relatively quiet, making two minor moves. The first was exchanging second-round picks with the Boston Celtics, as Jaden Springer was the only player involved in the deal. He would eventually be waived, per Mike Scotto of HoopsHype.

While their Western Conference competitors engineered seismic deals that altered the NBA landscape — trading for Luka Dončić, Anthony Davis, Jimmy Butler and De’Aaron Fox — the Houston Rockets remained at a relative standstill as Thursday’s NBA trade deadline passed.

The Boston Celtics are adding free agent Torrey Craig, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 34-year-old forward will give Boston a bit of depth on the wing after being waived by the Chicago Bulls in the aftermath of a larger Zach LaVine trade earlier this week.
