The Rockets have had an outstanding offseason.
The big move was trading for Kevin Durant, but even smaller moves such as bringing back Clint Capela could pay off in a big way.
Additionally, on Monday, they signed another free agent on a very cheap deal, yet this player could be a needle mover next season.
Who did the Rockets sign?
ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday that the Rockets signed Josh Okogie to a one-year contract.
Okogie was traded from the Suns to the Hornets in January and was waived by Charlotte a week ago.
Okogie is the former 20th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, and has put together a solid career as a role player so far.
He played 40 games between the Hornets and Suns last season, and notably had a per-36 average of 3.5 steals as a member of the Hornets last season.
The Rockets are getting a quality '3 & D' player for just $3.1 million.
Whether or not he comes off the bench or plays a bigger role, Okogie can be a huge help to this team, and they may have gotten a steal getting him for so little this offseason.
