The Houston Rockets have acquired power forward Jarrod Uthoff from the Dallas Mavericks for infamous cash considerations.
Uthoff has a non-guaranteed contract and is currently just a $47,953 cap hold while set to earn $1,312,611 next season if kept.
At first Uthoff appeared to be another non-guaranteed contract acquired by the Rockets to grease the wheels on a future trade. However, unlike players included in the Chris Paul trade and three currently on the Houston roster, Tim Quarterman, Ryan Kelly and Shawn Long, Uthoff can’t immediately be traded, at least with other players.
