Since free agency began on July 1, I have been pondering about specific moves or signings the Houston Rockets could make in an attempt to add the elusive secondary ball-handler they coveted. On July 19, the team made a low-risk high-reward move with the trade for former Denver Nuggets' point guard, Ty Lawson.
The Nuggets shipped the talented Lawson along with an unprotected second round pick in 2017, and received Kostas Papanikolau, Joey Dorsey, Nick Johnson, Pablo Prigioni, and a protected first round pick in 2016. With Ty Lawson's recent off-court issues, his stock plummeted and both teams came away with a great haul under the circumstances.
