Sports&#8217; Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal is not finalized, but should be soon. Injured Timberwolves big man Ronny Turiaf is also heading to Houston, but he could end up on a third team, Wojnarowski reports.<\/p>\n<p>The Rockets have an $8.4 million trade exception that allowed them to absorb Brewer&#8217;s contract without matching salary. They already had 15 players on the roster, so they may need to find a new home for Turiaf. Houston pushed to complete this deal before Dec. 19 because of an NBA rule that forces teams to wait two months after a player is required before including them a package for another trade. The trade deadline is Feb. 19.<\/p>\n<p>Brewer will give the Rockets speed and defense off the bench behind James Harden and Trevor Ariza, both of whom have logged heavy minutes this season. He played a big role on Denver&#8217;s 57-win team in 2012-13 and was signed by the Timberwolves last summer in their push for the playoffs. He&#8217;s averaging 10.5 points and over two steals a game, but struggled to maximize his game in Minnesota&#8217;s half-court system. A return to a system closer to the Nuggets&#8217; one in which he thrived could serve him well. The Cleveland Cavaliers were also rumored to be interested in Brewer, but Houston ended up winning the bidding.<\/p>\n<p>The Timberwolves can now open up more playing time on the wing for youngsters Andrew Wiggins and Shabazz Muhammad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(SB Nation)\u00a0 The Minnesota Timberwolves have traded Corey Brewer to the Houston Rockets for backup shooter Troy Daniels and two future second-round picks, according to Yahoo!
