One team that has begun that process is the Houston Rockets. The Rockets completed a trade with the Boston Celtics at the deadline, bringing on Dennis Schroder, Bruno Fernando, and Enes Freedom. Freedom was released following the completion of the deal, but to make room for the deal to be consummated, Armoni Brooks and DJ Augustin were waived.
