Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey once again called up former talk show host Magic Johnson to make a last minute trade to clear cap space.
Morey sent backup point guard Tyler Ennis to the Los Angeles Lakers for Brazilian backup point guard Marcelo Huertas. The Rockets promptly waived Huertas to create cap space.
The move appears to be part of a still developing strategy to make an offer to a veteran free agent who gets bought out of his current contract. The hottest name being bandied about on Twitter is center Andrew Bogut who was dealt from Dallas to Philadelphia in the closing hours of the trade deadline.
