Rockets Trade Andersen to Raptors
The Houston Rockets traded big man David Andersen to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for a conditional second round draft pick.
The Rockets shipped Andersen to the Toronto Raptors for a 2015 second-round pick the Raptors received from the Los Angeles Clippers, but only if that pick is between the 51st and 55th picks of the draft.
The Rockets also will send $1 million to the Raptors to complete the deal but will have a net savings of $4 million. Andersen, a 6-11, 245-pound center, is under contract for two more seasons, but only $185,000 of the final season of his contract is guaranteed.
Andersen, who just turned 30, is an Australian-born 6-11 big man who spent one season with the Rockets, averaging 5.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 14 minutes a game last season.
Originally a second-round pick (37th overall) by the Atlanta Hawks in 2002, Andersen “is a skilled big that gives us some insurance at the backup centre position,” Raptors president and general manager Bryan Colangelo said in a press release.
