The Rockets have been scouring the market for bigs as they need a replacement for Nene, at the very least. However several of the guys they’ve targeted are no longer available, such as JaVale McGee and Kevon Looney.
We don’t know exactly what’s going on with Kenneth Faried and where the team stands on negotiations with him. Meanwhile Marcus Morris is no longer on the market and neither is DeMarcus Cousins.
So that leaves us with a familiar name on the market: Dwight Howard.
