When the Houston Rockets traded away Clint Capela, it was obvious they needed another big to replace him. The Rockets do have Isaiah Hartenstein and Tyson Chandler as bench options, but Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni hasn’t turned to either player for significant minutes.
This has led many to believe that the Rockets will turn to the buyout market to land another big man, as there are a number of options. It was also expected that the Rockets would possibly turn to the buyout market for more bench depth, as the Rockets run fairly thin when it comes to their rotations.
