The on and off Rocket has been waived. What seemed like a perfect fit for the Rockets bench, a big that can shoot 3’s has come to an end. Anderson previously spent two years with the rockets before a trade sent him to the suns in 2018. Anderson has suited up for a total of 14 minutes so far this season shooting 1-5 on threes. Anderson steady decline as a above average shooter seems to be meaningful.
Anderson was signed for the veteran’s minimum salary figure of around $2.6 million, but only $500,000 of that deal was guaranteed. By waiving him now, the Rockets have slipped back under the luxury tax threshold for the season.
Owner Tilman Fertitta has claimed that he is willing to pay the tax, but his actions since taking over the team tell a different story.
