Ariza is expected to replace Chandler Parsons in Houston.
Ariza had also drawn interest from the Dallas Mavericks, but ultimately decided that Houston was the place he would like to call home for the next four years.
There is still a chance that the Rockets could match Parsons’ offer sheet from the Mavericks, but there is no official news.
The team will have until midnight on Sunday to make a decision.
