Not as big as the trade that brought them, Russell Westbrook, the Houston Rockets made another offseason splash Friday afternoon. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Rockets acquired free-agent center Tyson Chandler on a one-year deal. With the move, the Rockets are hoping that Chandler would add some much-needed depth to their lineup, but most noticeably at the center position.
After Nene declined his player option to test free agency, the Rockets were in need of a backup center with Clint Capela listed as their only big within their rotation.
