The Rockets don't have anything worth their while-- outside of Harden, of course, but he's not getting traded.
The Rockets don't have any assets to get Milsap that don't require Atlanta taking back salary. Best hope is Horford decides to leave Atlanta or they turn their sights to Cleveland to get Love (Ariza plus Bev) and Minny to get Rubio (willingness to take back Pek contract) A Harden/Love/Rubio combo is better than anything short of Durant all if a sudden wanting Houston.
I've been saying it all year. Horford is staying on the East coast with a bigger Dem. Rep. population.

Wrong! It was just Aldridge saying he has a four year deal offered. They did an explicit correction after.

Well since Horford maybe gone, the chance of getting Durant decreases (though the chance was minor to begin with). The best way to go forward is to start looking at great fits for not only next year, but the next FA. Since we have all this cap space, lets start getting these euros over here. For the Lullz.
