Good trade for all 3 teams

Kings upgrade their offensive firepower with Burks ( solidfying their playoff push )

Rockets shore up their perimeter defense with Shumpert ( sorely missed with departure of ariza )

Cavs continue to acquire assets for rebuild in Marquis Chris ( former lottery pick ) and future 1st round pick
