Rockets tried to shore up lack of bigs with call on Tristan Thompson

The Rockets’ worst-kept secret is that they’re thin at the center position after trading Clint Capela to the Hawks Currently, Houston has centers Tyson Chandler and Isaiah Hartenstein on the roster But the two 7-footers are on opposite sides of the age spectrum, with Chandler at 37-years-old and Hartenstein at 21-years-old Furthermore, neither player has played more than 27 games this season It makes perfect sense for Houston to look for a suitable replacement for Capela That player, as it turns out, could have been Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson who reportedly wants out of Cleveland
