The Rockets have waived guard Chris Chiozza and center Deyonta Davis, opening up two more roster spots.
These moves come with very little surprise, especially in the case of Chiozza. This is not to say he won’t latch on somewhere, as he’s just 23 years old, but the Rockets just don’t need another guard. They already have stars Russell Westbrook and James Harden, but also have Austin Rivers and any combination of Chris Clemons and/or Shamorie Ponds. Not to mention Eric Gordon, who they also could wisely give minutes when Westbrook and Harden aren’t on the floor, especially if they want to rest Harden and Westbrook per load management.
