“Hours after a rally celebrating the acquisition of Ron Artest on Monday, the Rockets made a far more subtle roster move, sending guard Sean Singletary to the Phoenix Suns for second-year guard D.J. Strawberry. Singletary, who was chosen with the 42nd pick of the NBA draft in June, had been acquired in the deal for Artest but was not part of the Rockets’ plans. His contract would have become partially guaranteed at the end of the month.”
