They chased Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James and after it was clear they weren’t interested in signing with the Rockets, they moved on to Chris Bosh. Bosh, of course, re-signed with the Miami Heat and the Rockets settled for Washington Wizards’ free agent swingman Trevor Ariza, inking him to a four-year, $32 million deal. They also lost forward Chandler Parsons to the Dallas Mavericks after choosing not to match the three-year, $46 million offer sheet.

On Monday, the Rockets made a positive move, bringing back one of their own, inking guard Troy Daniels to a two-year deal.

During the 2014 postseason, Daniels famously came of of nowhere to hit a game-winning three-pointer in the Rockets’  game 3 overtime victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in their first round playoff series (you can re-live the play here).

Jonathan Feigen of The Houston Chronicle reported the signing and has the details.

Daniels also confirmed the news himself.

During the regular season, Daniels played a total of 75 minutes and appeared in just five games. He averaged 8.4 points and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 48.4% from the field and 48.0% from beyond the arc. In the postseason, he played in four games, averaging 7.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 52.9% from the field, 53.3% from three and 100.0% from the charity stripe.
