First, the Rockets sent Eric Gordon to the Los Angeles Clippers and received John Wall and Danny Green via a three-team trade. Later on, the organization brought in Frank Kaminsky and Justin Holiday from the Atlanta Hawks.

In the end, the Rockets sent three players while acquiring four, meaning a roster space has to be created for the moves to materialize. Due to this reason, Boban Marjanovic is going to be released from the roster.

However, the Serbian big man will be brought back and re-signed by the Rockets after he clears waivers. As a result of the move, Marjanovic will earn an extra $1 million and will retain his full Bird rights while at the same time reducing his cap hold to a league minimum, The Houston Chronicle writes.

Marjanovic is in his 8th season in the NBA and averages 2.8 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.
