Who is that you might ask? The Houston Rockets could go through a laundry list of individuals of who could fill one of the most important slots on this roster — the person who has been anointed as Chris Paul‘s backup. I’m sure that the team has someone in mind but they shouldn’t forget that Leandro Barbosa is now a free agent.
As usual, Adrian Wojnarowski had the scoop on that particular news yesterday:
The Phoenix Suns are waiving guard Leandro Barbosa, league sources tell ESPN.

It had been solid run for Barbosa in his third — and likely last — tour of duty with the Phoenix Suns.
