Houston Rockets Rumors: Free agent target emerges, Clint Capela could leave for the Celtics and more

Richaun Holmes could be a free agency target

Richaun Holmes enjoyed a solid season with the Phoenix Suns

Richaun Holmes enjoyed a strong 18-19 season with the Phoenix Suns, although the 25-year-old's future in Phoenix is uncertain due to the presence of Deandre Ayton. As an upcoming free-agent, Holmes is likely to command plenty of interest and Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report believes Houston are among his interested suitors:

A backup for the Phoenix Suns last year, Richaun Holmes has no chance of carving out a bigger role if he were to return. Not with Deandre Ayton around.

Holmes could be a starter in Houston, though, and he'd be a fine fit who'd come fairly cheap. His 1.26 points per play as a roll man ranked in the 81st percentile, and his low-usage, high-efficiency game would work alongside Harden.

The Rockets could offer Holmes some of their MLE, which could be more than Phoenix is willing to spend.

During the 18-19 season, Holmes averaged 8.2 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per game.
