I’d imagine Houston sent some cash back and will eventually dump Doumbouya. – 8:33 PM

Rockets intend to waive Sekou Doumbouya after acquiring him along with a second-round pick in a trade with the Nets, sources tell ESPN. Rockets sent Nets $110,000. The pick is unprotected in 2024. – 8:31 PM

The Rockets already had 15 fully guaranteed players before acquiring Sekou Doumbouya. Houston will be eating a salary when rosters finalize.
Houston will also need to waive a player to complete this trade, but they have three non-guaranteed players on the 20-man roster right now. – 8:30 PM

Nets save a nice chunk on the tax by dealing Doumbouya to the Rockets. Houston gets to take a flyer on the young forward. Seems like a win-win sort of deal. – 8:26 PM

Lots of extended time today for the back/fringe rotation guys. I expect Cam Thomas and Day’Ron Sharpe to get some run, along with Kessler Edwards, David Duke Jr., Devontae Cacok and Sekou Doumbouya. – 3:27 PM
