The Houston Rockets are testing the market for interest in Brandon Knight, joining a long list of teams trying to dump salary as the trade deadline continues to creep up. He is owed roughly $15 million next season before becoming a free agent in 2020.
Knight missed all of the 2017-2018 season for the Phoenix Suns with a torn ACL. Before returning from the injury, he was traded to the Houston Rockets in a move designed to dump Ryan Anderson’s hefty contract on the Suns.
According to Kevin O’Connor of the Ringer, the Memphis Grizzlies reportedly have interest in Knight.
The Rockets have had trade discussions with the Grizzlies on a potential trade involving Brandon Knight, according to league sources. Houston has been offering a first-round pick to get rid of Knight’s contract.
