There’s more trouble in Houston because it seems like the Rockets roster is going through an overhaul again. GM Daryl Morey is not giving up championship aspirations with the organization because he’s making the entire team (aside from James Harden) and future draft picks available in trades.
This means that players like Chris Paul and Clint Capela are believed to be trade targets and moved out of Houston. The only problem? CP3 is injury prone and is owed $124 million over the next three years, so that could be difficult.
The Rockets are very interested in moving Capela, as sources say they have been aggressive with offers for the center.
While Mike D’Antoni was looking for an extension after the season and things look promising, those talks have seemed to have slowed down. It’ll be very interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks with the Rockets.
Could that Paul and Harden experiment be over already?
Sources: In calls to front offices, Houston GM Daryl Morey is showing an aggressive desire to improve roster with all players and picks available in talks. Hard to imagine James Harden scenario, but the rest under contract – perhaps even Chris Paul – could be moved in right deal.
