The deal provides the rebuilding Rockets with a talented but temperamental 20-year-old who could have a bright future in the league if he is able to move past his off-the-court issues.

The Cavaliers recently sought to trade Porter after his angry outburst in the team's locker room, according to multiple media reports. Porter allegedly threw food and screamed because his locker was moved to make way for recent acquisition Taurean Prince, who arrived as part of a four-team blockbuster trade that sent James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets.
