The Houston Rockets have never been shy about taking risks with their roster, especially when it comes to putting together the right mix of talent around James Harden. That’s why after striking out on signing both Al Horford and Kent Bazemore in the 2016 free agency period, the Rockets signed Ryan Anderson, who had missed extensive time in each of the prior three seasons, to a deal worth $20 million per year.

In what shouldn’t be any surprise, the Rockets immediately began shopping Anderson just one year later, trying to find a way to get out from underneath his contract.
