The Washington Wizards season has been an interesting one to say the least. They, like theHouston Rockets, got off to a very slow start. They traded for former Rockets,Trevor Arizato be a catalyst for their team.

It didn’t exactly work out too well and thenJohn Wallruptured his Achilles after he slipped at home. They then sentOtto Porterto the Bulls forJabari ParkerandBobby Portiswhich is a strange deal in and of itself. After that,Markieff Morriswas dumped to the Pelicans to help get the team under the luxury tax line.

The Pelicans, in spite of not tradingAnthony Davis, aren’t really in contention mode and are expected to buy out the rest of Morris’ contract allowing him to sign where he pleases. It gets a little complicated here though because he is currently rehabbing from a neck injury sustained on January 3rd.

So, he’s probably got another week or two before he could really come back and be an asset for a new team. However, the Rockets should take a shot on Morris as he could be a solid addition to the team.

Morris has developed into a decent three-point shooter the past couple of seasons and would get the opportunity to continue to grow that portion of his game in Houston. He also brings energy and tenacity both on the boards and on the defensive side of the court.
