The Rockets have signed F/C Justin Williams to a 10-day contract. In his first game with the Rockets the 23-year old played 6 minutes and scored 3 points and grabbed a rebound. Williams has now played in 23 games this season with the Kings & Rockets and he is averaging 5.4 minutes, 1.5 points and 2.1 rebounds. Williams should be a decent addition to the Rockets as long as he behaves off the court which is something he didn’t do in Sacramento.

The Rockets have signed G/F Bobby Jones to a 10-day contract. Jones has played in 32 games (2 starts) this season for the Nuggets and Grizzlies. In those games Jones has averaged 10.8 minutes, 3.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Jones has hit 41.1% from the floor and 83.8% from the free throw line this season. Jones has now played in 76 games (7 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 8.9 minutes, 3.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. He has hit 43.7% of his shots from the floor and 69.2% of his free throw shots in his career. Jones should help the Rockets if he gets some playing time.

The Rockets have waived Adam Haluska. Haluska was just acquired Thursday afternoon by the Rockets but they just didn’t have enough room to carry him on the roster. He might get another chance with some team either later this season or next year.

The Houston Rockets have acquired G/F Gerald Green from the T-Wolves for Kirk Snyder, a 2010 2nd round draft pick and cash. Green wasn’t get much playing time in Minnesota but that will likely change in Houston. Green played in 29 games (0 starts) this season for the T-Wolves and he averaged 12.3 minutes, 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Green was only shooting 33.1% from the floor this year for the T-Wolves. Green has now played in 142 games (29 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 17.7 minutes, 8.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. Green should give the Rockets firepower off the bench.

Kirk Snyder played in 9 games (0 starts) this season for the Rockets and he averaged 9.0 minutes, 3.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.

The Rockets have acquired Bobby Jackson, Adam Haluska and a 2nd round pick from the Hornets for Bonzi Wells and Mike James. The Rockets have also acquired the draft rights to Sergei Lishchuk from the Grizzlies for the draft rights to Malick Badiene. Jackson played in 46 games (0 starts) this season for the Hornets and he was averaging 19.4 minutes, 7.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Jackson only was shooting 39.2% from the floor but 81.6% from the free throw line. Jackson has now played in 658 games (128 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 22.5 minutes, 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Adam Haluska is a 6′5″, 210 pound guard from Iowa who has missed his whole rookie season so far due to injury.

Bonzi Wells played in 51 games (7 starts) for the Rockets this season and he averaged 22.0 minutes, 9.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Mike James played in 33 games (1 start) this year for the Rockets and he averaged 16.3 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

This trade probably hurt the Rockets bench a little bit, but they made up for it with the other trade they made today.
