Ryan Kelly Traded to Rockets; Hawks Receive Cash Considerations

The Houston Rockets' offseason makeover continued Wednesday with the acquisition of forward Ryan Kelly in a deal with the Atlanta Hawks. 

Per an official release from the Hawks, they will receive cash considerations in exchange for sending Kelly to Houston. 

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has been keeping plenty busy Wednesday. Earlier in the day, the Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Houston agreed to acquire All-Star point guard Chris Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers. 

In addition to Paul, Wojnarowski reported the Rockets made a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers for Tim Quarterman, and Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated reported the Dallas Mavericks sent DeAndre Liggins to the Rockets for cash considerations.

Kelly just finished his fourth NBA season. He only appeared in 16 games for the Hawks last season, averaging 1.6 points and 1.1 rebounds for the team. His best year was his rookie campaign for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2013-14, when he averaged 8.0 points in 59 games.
