Yesterday’s Rumors 2:22 PM – Marc Stein (ESPN) destroyed all Rockets fans workdays as they ran to Twitter to talk about this Rockets rumor.
Sources familiar w/Rockets' thinking say HOU has absolute interest in trading for Rajon Rondo. But that alone doesn't mean we'll see a deal

Stein continued with a few more tweets about Rondo and the Rockets. We covered all the Rondo-to-the-Rockets rumors in a seperate post here. 2:09 PM – Alex Kennedy (Basketball Insiders) stopped by to tell us what we have heard every single season since Morey has taken over as GM.
The Houston Rockets have been very active in trade talks. Keep in mind, Rockets GM Daryl Morey has made a trade at the last six deadlines.

Earlier in the afternoon – According to Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio, the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets have had discussions. You can catch the entire thread here.
"I heard the Celtics might deal Rajon Rondo to the Houston Rockets, have you heard anything about that? FOX Sports Ohio: I have heard the sides have talked. About what specifically, I have not been told. My guess, yes, is Rondo. Rockets think they can get him, sources have told me. Anything going on with Mike Dunleavy to the Rockets? FOX Sports Ohio: I haven’t heard much on that front, other than what’s been reported."
8:01 AM – Sam Amick (USA Today) tweeted the only Omer Asik update of the day.
On Omer Asik front, I'm told there have been no recent talks w/ Houston and Milwaukee. Again, idea that he stays in Houston very possible.
