Before long, Nik Stauskas will be suiting up for his SIXTH different NBA team as he finishes just his fifth season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have reportedly traded Stauskas and former Blazer Wade Baldwin to the Houston Rockets as part of a three-team deal with Sacramento that centers around Iman Shumpert going to Houston.

Cleveland will send Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin to the Rockets in the three-way deal, league source tells ESPN. Cavaliers acquired those two guards in Sunday’s trade with Portland that sent Rodney Hood to the Blazers.

The full trade: The Rockets send Brandon Knight, Marquese Chriss, and a 2019 protected first-round draft pick to the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers send Alec Burks and a second-round draft pick to the Sacramento Kings, and Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin to the Rockets. The Kings send Iman Shumpert to the Rockets.

Stauskas and Baldwin were just traded from the Blazers to the Cavs on Monday in the deal that landed Rodney Hood in Portland.
