The past 24 hours of the Houston Rockets news feed has been dominated by the teams blockbuster trade for Russell Westbrook, although Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is reporting that the team has also completed a deal to sign veteran free agent Tyson Chandler:

Chandler started the 18-19 season with the Phoenix Suns, although he quickly agreed upon a buyout. The veteran then joined the Los Angeles Lakers, playing 48 times while averaging 3.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.

At 36, Chandler is approaching the end of a lengthy career in the league, although the veteran big will serve as a ready-made replacement for the departed Nene. While unlikely to play a major role, the former All-Star will be able to offer the Rockets a solid 10-15 minutes each night.
