Christian Wood grabbed the league’s attention last season by pushing the piston away from injury.
Houston is completing its se fission uncertainty with a small, unfamiliar talent on the free agent market.
According to E-SPN’s Adrian Wozniacki, the Rockets have signed a free agent deal with Pistons big man Christian Wood. Wood, 24, averaged 21.9 points, a 9.4 rebound average and shot 40.8% from a 3-point range in that role when pressed into the starting lineup for an injured piston.
Deal with sign-and-trade is expected to be completed by Detroit per source. https://t.co/TALHbm9OlP

The move will try to rebuild the Rockets’ frontcourt after Robert Cuewington traded in Portland in exchange for Trevor Ariza and two first-round picks. Meanwhile, superstar guards James Harden and Russell Westbrook have all been asked to trade.
