The Houston Rockets were prioritizing veteran frontcourt help after they acquired Russell Westbrook in a blockbuster trade on Thursday, and they wasted no time addressing that need.
Free agent center Tyson Chandler agreed to a one-year deal with the Rockets on Friday, according to his agent.

Chandler, 36, spent last season with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he grabbed 5.6 rebounds per game while playing 16.4 minutes per night. His best days are obviously behind him and he already has a retirement date set, but he’s the type of depth piece that could really help a contending team.
Now that Chandler has signed with the Rockets, they could turn their attention toward trying to acquire Andre Iguodala.
