5 players signed to non-guaranteed contracts battle for the last available roster spot. Who will win it?
It all started when the Rockets waived Remi Yusuf. Yusuf was the first domino in a series of "capological" transactions that allowed the Rockets to finally sign rookie Montrezl Harrell to a 3 year, $3.1 million using some of their non-taxpayer exception.
By signing Harrell, the Rockets finalized 14 out of the 15 available positions on the team. Soon after Christian Wood signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Rockets splurged on young candidates for the final spot; acquiring Will Cummings, Joshua Smith, Chris Walker, Denzel Livingston, and Jeremy Tyler.
