Denver sold Tom Hoover to the Houston Mavericks for cash on May 2, 1968. Hoover had already completed a 70-game season for the Rockets, so the transaction concerns his rights after that campaign rather than games transferred midseason. Houston received only four regular-season games from Hoover in 1968-69 before trading him to Minnesota for Willie Porter on November 25. Porter then appeared in two games for Houston. Because the cash amount Denver received is not disclosed, the exchange cannot be valued precisely; Houston's traceable player chain produced only six games.

Houston’s C- versus Denver’s D+ reflects a very small realized basketball return. The grades stay low and close because neither side produced substantial traceable value and Denver’s cash amount remains unknown.
