We were expecting some Houston Rockets aggressive in the summer market, and the first move has already arrived: according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, an agreement has been found for the purchase of AJ Griffin in exchange for the 44th pick in this draft, which is set to be called this evening.

In addition to having shown off with two game winners last season, Griffin is a forward with interesting characteristics to add to Ime Udoka’s rotation.
And more moves from the Rockets front office are likely to come in the coming days.
