The Houston Rockets will waive James Nunnally to create a roster space for Kenneth Faried.

Nunnally was recently signed by the Rockets to a 10-day contract.

What?? They traded Carmelo so there was no need to open up a roster spot. Should've kept him. All around good guy

They need more than one player so it stands to reason that they'll need more than one roster spot. Faried will be pretty redundant when Capela gets back. The Rockets desperately need wing depth and Nunnally isn't the answer. In two games played he has recorded the rarely seen negative PER.
