"Rockets believe odds of getting LaMarcus Aldridge are stronger after the Beverley and Brewer deals. Rockets can do a sign-trade for him."
Josh Smith still isn't signed correct? It'll be interesting to see what direction they go. Personally, I think it's a good move if they try and do it.
The Rockets surprised people making it to the west finals, but they sure weren't fooling me that they were actual contenders. Let's not forget, they were down 3-1 in the second round including by 18pts at the end of the 3rd in game 5. It was a nice comeback, but I think it was fools gold, and if the Rockets trade for Aldridge, that means they think it was fools gold too.
A Beverly/Harden/Ariza/Aldridge/Howard starting lineup looks pretty darn good in my opinion.
