Ty Lawson makes the Kings' roster despite having missed a team flight this preseason due to a "personal issue."
Ty Lawson said the trade from the Nuggets to the Rockets will be a fresh start and that he's the missing piece the team needs in its quest to reach the NBA Finals.
James Harden spent some time with new teammate Ty Lawson and came away convinced that the point guard, who has completed a court-mandated stay in rehab, will be an asset for the Rockets.
He has major game on the floor but major problems off it. And Ty Lawson's friends, family -- and new employer -- are counting on him to get it right.
Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey acknowledged that the acquisition of troubled point guard Ty Lawson came with risk but said, "We feel Ty is someone we wanted to add to our team."
Being traded by the Nuggets to the Rockets is an "opportunity" for Ty Lawson, his agent told a Houston television station.
