Cue up the bagpipes and the "Amazing Grace," the Ty Lawson era for the Houston Rockets is officially over. The Rockets have reached a buyout agreement with the point guard and, after he clears waivers, he will be free to sign with any team he wants, according to multiple reports.
This past offseason, the Rockets pulled the trigger and made the deal to bring in Lawson for Kostas Papanikolaou, Pablo Prigioni, Joey Dorsey, Nick Johnson and a protected 2016 first-round pick.
At the time, the deal seemed almost too good to be true.
