    A couple Non-Rocket fans texted me that ESPN was reporting Rondo to Houston was a distinct possibility. I have not been able to find this anywhere and was surprised to not see a thread on it.

    Anyone else catch what ESPN reported?

    Rumor is Sacramento wants him and is willing to pay.

    If Houston Really wanted Rondo, Dallas would not have traded for him. Morey showed he doesn't value Rondo highly enough to give anything worthy away for him. This means Morey won't be the frontrunner to sign free agent Rondo either.

    Morey made offers for Rondo. He simply wasn't willing to give away the farm for a pending free agent that had not expressed commitment to come here and stay and for which there would possibly be chemistry issues.

    Rondo to Houston IS a possibility. Not saying it will happen. But it is a possibility at this point.

    Nothing to be found but your friends or 'non-Rockets fans' apparently aren't the only ones...

    Renewing my subscription to the jopatinsidernewsletter IS a possibility. Not saying it will happen. But it is a longshot at this point.

    only possibility is if he's willing to sign for the MLE. i can't imagine dallas doing a S&T so we can pay him more. seems highly unlikely.

    i would bet on matching beverley and using MLE on llull.

    Yes, it is a longshot at this point. But it is a possibility. Remember, Morey was willing to trade for Rondo. So, just being logical, if he was willing to take a chance and trade assets for Rondo, then doesn't it make sense that he could be willing to take a chance and sign Rondo for no outgoing assets? Especially to a contract that is favorable to the Rockets cap flexibility???

    Unless its about Curry, ESPN really isn't a good source for NBA material.

    Maybe a SnT with Dallas, but not otherwise.

    Beverly for Rondo in co-SnTs? Or possibly Prig and/or KPap + 2nd rounder for Rondo SnT?

    Rondo, Delly, Austin Rivers.

    There's an embarrasment of riches in the free agent guard market.
