Boban Marjanovic to be waived, re-signed by Rockets

Houston is receiving two players as part of the Eric Gordon trade and needs to release one from its current roster to finalize the deal, and Marjanovic will temporarily be the odd man out, Feigen writes.
The Rockets intend to waive and then re-sign Boban Marjanovic, according to Jonathan Feigen of The Houston Chronicle (subscriber link). Houston is receiving two players as part of the Eric Gordon trade and needs to release one from its current roster to finalize the deal, and Marjanovic will temporarily be the odd man out, Feigen writes. However, assuming he goes through the waiver wire without getting claimed (which is a formality, as he makes $3.5M and seldom plays), the Rockets will re-sign Marjanovic to a minimum-salary contract and retain his Bird rights, a person with knowledge of the situation tells Feigen. The 34-year-old backup center will earn an additional $1M this season as part of the moves, Feigen adds. Marjanovic has only appeared in 17 games for a total of 72 minutes this season, but he’s held in high regard as a locker-room presence.

Somehow, the Rockets got even younger after the trade deadline

Didn't know Boban got waived and resigned by the Rockets. In my fantasy, I thought we'd get him back if he became available. Though we need actual playoff players, I know. Trade
