The Houston Rockets are working the phones to do a little more asset management.
After acquiring a second-round pick from Boston to take on Jaden Springer’s salary, the Rockets made another similar move, absorbing the contract of Cody Zeller this season to get back a 2028 second-round pick.
Ironically, that pick is Houston’s own 2028 second-round pick that the Rockets sent to Atlanta in 2023.
The pick the Rockets get back from Atlanta — Houston's own 2028 second-round pick — was originally sent from Houston to Atlanta in the 2023 salary dump move that traded Usman Garuba and TyTy Washington to the Hawks.

The Rockets waived Springer to make roster room for Zeller. They will likely do the same with Zeller in order to make room for a buyout signing in the coming days or weeks.
It’s a small move but it’s another good one on the margins. These second-round picks add up. The two the Rockets got in the past couple of days — Boston’s 2030 second and Houston’s own 2028 second — could be eventually combined in a deal that nets the Rockets a solid role player down the line. Houston did exactly this last season when they acquired Steven Adams from Memphis.
So quick grade? Easy A. Solid asset management work by Rockets GM Rafael Stone and credit to Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta for being willing to spend millions just to get some extra seconds.
