Then, this summer, he signed PJ Tucker, a Rocket from 2017 through 2021, to a 3-year, $33 million contract with a player option. He also signed Danuel House Jr., who played with the Rockets from 2018 to 2021 for 4 seasons. Trevelin Queen, who you might not be familiar with, spent the whole previous season, 10 games, with the Houston Rockets.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Montrezl Harrell has agreed to a two-year deal with the 76ers, per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wojespn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@wojespn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oVoU20BKNO\">pic.twitter.com\/oVoU20BKNO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1567241133314514946?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Now we have Harrell, who played for the Rockets alongside Harden from 2015 to 2017. They are finalizing their roster in an effort to capture the East championship. The Sixers now boast one of the NBA&#8217;s greatest starting lines, but they still need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nba\/news\/76ers-put-a-bow-on-successful-offseason-reportedly-sign-montrezl-harrell-to-serve-as-backup-center\/\">help<\/a> on the bench.

The Harrell addition makes sense in light of this. He can give the big guy a break and make a spot start when necessary. How many more ex-Rockets will Morey attempt to recruit?
