Rockets add key veteran to already stacked roster

The Houston Rockets are not letting up on stacking upon an already loaded roster.

On Tuesday, the Rockets and free agent forward Josh Okogie agreed to a one-year deal worth $3.1 million, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Okogie will serve as another wing defender who can also knock down shots from three-point range.

Okogie has logged seven seasons in the NBA across three teams, including the Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns and the Charlotte Hornets.

Rockets general manager Rafael Stone has arguably been the busiest front office executive in the league, as Okogie's acquisition is a cherry on top a mountain of moves that include trading for superstar Kevin Durant, signing free agents Dorian Finney-Smith and Clint Capela, and re-signing a bevy of players including Fred VanVleet, Aaron Holiday, Jae'sean Tate and Jeff Green.
