15 former Rockets that are still available on the free agent market

The Houston Rockets turned over a considerable amount of their roster this summer, parting with a handful of prospects and bringing Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks in to add some defensive reinforcements and to re-establish the culture. As the NBA offseason progresses through the dog days of inactivity, free agency and the NBA Draft become an afterthought and the focus shifts to the upcoming season.
