After having shown interest in acquiring Robert Covington for months, the Houston Rockets finally got their coveted forward, as Clint Capela, Gerald Green, Nene and a first-round pick were all sent away to bring in the 29-year-old. The move will also be bringing former NBA champion Jordan Bell into the mix, who is a 6-8 center that’s playing just 8.7 minutes per game this season.
All indications from Rockets’ insiders are that Houston is not done making deals, as they still need to find a serviceable center that can play alongside the rest of the run and gun, small-ball Rockets.
