The Houston Rockets made a splash this summer with the blockbuster trade executed to bring Russell Westbrook to Houston. They also signed veteran players in Tyson Chandler and Thabo Sefolosha. However, they made a signing a few weeks ago that flew under a lot of radars. On Sept. 25, the Rockets signed Ryan Anderson to a significantly partially guaranteed deal.
Many folks who think of this as an insignificant move are missing the bigger picture. In today’s NBA, you can simply never have too many shooters. The Houston Rockets have two of the best penetrators in the game today, so spacing is going to be of the utmost importance throughout the season.
