    ESPN's Brian Windhorst on the Rockets:

    "Here's the thing: The Rockets are always looking to make big moves. From what I've been told by sources, they are active in the trade market. Now they are limited in what they can do because they don't want to trade away one of their prime pieces. They have been looking to trade Ryan Anderson for months now. They're still dangling him out there and showing some willingness to take on long-term money to get off Ryan Anderson's money in the short-term. I never put anything away from Daryl Morey, but they have been talking to teams about adding defenders. They've got great offensive players. They are going to add another good offensive player in Carmelo Anthony. It wouldn't surprise me if they make a move for a defensive player or two before training camp."

    FIRST!

    Getting rid of Anderson is a defensive move by itself

    I think Morey's targeting Bazemore. Salary wise it makes sense and he's shown interest in him before. Question is whether Morey is willing to attach a 1st rounder with Ryno.

    Best way to drive traffic on clutchfans: Melo, Kellerman, Anderson.

    Op should put Anderson somewhere in the title of this thread.

    FAKE NEWS! ClutchFans knows that Murray is sitting on his ass doing nothing while the team goes down in flames.

    Bazemore would be a wonderful Anderson replacement.

    It would definitely surprise me if a trade was done before camp. No reason for us to up our offer until the deadline.

    I'm pretty sure they are going for the Greek Freak Giannas or Anthony Davis. Then bring PJ Tucker off the bench.

    MKG and Marvin Williams for Ryno and a pick sounds heavenly.

    I think it will be Batum or Bazemore. I think Bazemore we have to send out assets, if it is Batum we should get an asset back.
