00:00All right. So now this pick swap between Houston and Brooklyn. My understanding is is this was a pick that was once given away that they are getting back and maybe potentially to try and acquire a player like Kevin Durant Gilbert.
00:15This is a super confusing trade here with all of these picks going back and forth. But is the end result basically Houston at this point trying to get their way out of this rebuild and get themselves a star.
00:26There's a lot going on here. First, we'll start with Brooklyn. Obviously, in addition to trading bridges, they're trying to right some of their wrongs. They parted ways with a lot of draft capital to try to build a team.
00:36And obviously, they've come up short with the different eras of teams that they've had. Now, with the Rockets, they are trying to take a big leap. They were 41 and 41 this past year. They have a lot of young talent. They have a win now, coach.
00:46So I think they are trying to just really stockpile as much as they can to be on the market for a star. They're looking to maybe move down in the draft. They pick third in this year's draft. So they have a lot of different ways they can improve their team and make a big leap in the Western Conference because the Western Conference is unforgiving and it's not getting any less competitive this upcoming season. So the Rockets will be an interesting team to keep an eye on tonight.
