With NBA free agency less than a month away, the Houston Rockets are desperately trying to clear more cap space.
Houston already has about $79 million on the books for the 2018-19 season. That gives them about $22 million to play with before they hit the salary cap. We also have to keep in mind that Chris Paul, Clint Capela, Trevor Ariza, Luc Mbah a Moute and Gerald Green are free agents, so keeping this team together will eat into Tilman Fertitta’s deep pockets.
In order to clear up cap room, the Rockets are aggressively shopping Ryan Anderson on the trade market, according to Kelly Iko of Rockets Wire.
