The Rockets were one of the rumored destinations for Lawson for some time now, so it isn’t surprising that a deal was struck to send him there. Lawson recent run in with the law might have made things a little interesting, but obviously not interesting enough to deter teams from pursuing him.
On top of receiving Lawson, the Rockets also received a second round pick, while the Nuggets will receive a protected first rounder.
Houston will send a 2016 protected first-round pick to Denver, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

It will be interesting to see how this deal works out for Houston. If Lawson is able to get past his recent incident and show that he won’t continue to be a problem, I like this deal for Houston.
