The Rockets are always the most active team and that isn’t expected to change today. They’ve been all over the Goran Dragic sweepstakes and have been interested in multiple guards including Reggie Jackson and Kevin Martin.

Adrian Wojnarowski’s (Yahoo Sports) update on the Goran Dragic situation:
"The Houston Rockets have been repeatedly warned that Dragic would not re-sign with them if traded there, but general manager Daryl Morey has stayed in touch with the Suns on potential deal possibilities, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Nevertheless, the Rockets are uncertain where they stand in the discussions."
Also some other Rockets news…
"The Rockets are also in the market for a backup center, but have shown a willingness to use Josh Smith, Terrence Jones and Joey Dorsey as partners in sharing the burden of holding down the center position in Howard’s absence, league sources said."

Broussard sort of confirming Amick’s report from earlier in the night. Will GM Daryl Morey be willing to trade better assets for a few months of Dragic?
12:54 AM
Rockets fans were probably hoping the 5th year would matter but if Amick is right, is Dragic still worth the rental?
