Signing Jeff Green was just one of several moves the Houston Rockets made during the week of the trade deadline. While the acquisition of Robert Covington has helped the team the most, Green has also made a positive impact as the Rockets’ new backup center.
Green’s presence has cut down on P.J. Tucker‘s minutes and given Coach Mike D’Antoni a big who can contribute in multiple areas. With the Rockets struggling during the current losing streak, now would be the perfect time to shake up the starting lineup and move Green to the starting center position.
