Luc Mbah a Moute agrees to one year deal to rejoin the Clippers
The Houston Rockets have another forward spot to fill on the roster.
Forward Luc Mbah a Moute agreed to a one-year deal reportedly worth $4.3 million.
Mbah A Moute will sign for $4.3M, league sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/SfHAWntNlH— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 9, 2018
With the Rockets' focus shifted to sign forward Carmelo Anthony once he and the OKC Thunder part ways, the most the Rockets could have offered Mbah a Moute is the veteran minimum of $2.4 million.
Mbah a Moute's decision to sign with the Clippers follows Trevor Ariza's departure to sign a one-year, $15 million deal with the Phoenix Suns.
Houston's defense takes a big step back with Ariza and Mbah a Moute no longer on the club. Signing Carmelo Anthony would not improve the Rockets' defense; therefore, the Rockets will need to acquire a forward (or two) to shore up the team defense.
