The Houston Rockets were in the running for Rajon Rondo before the Dallas Mavericks ultimately pulled off the trade to bring the former Boston Celtics mainstay to Texas.
While it's unclear just how serious the Rockets were about landing Rondo, Houston GM Daryl Morey hasn't given up his plans to upgrade the team at the point guard position.
Per Ric Bucher of Bleacher Report:
Daryl Morey, no doubt, is burning up the phones, and the expectation is that he’s going to go hot and heavy after a point guard.
They love Patrick Beverley, but ideally, he is the third guard in that rotation.
And to give an indication of just how aggressive they might be, sources around the league are saying don’t count Deron Williams out from the Brooklyn Nets, even though he has that fat contract and right now has a rib injury.
Far more likely is that they go back to a guy that they already know – Goran Dragic, who is in a crowded backcourt with the Phoenix Suns and could be got with that New Orleans No. 1 pick that the Rockets have right now.
While both options present their own costs both from a trade and a financial standpoint, keep your eye on GM Daryl Morey as February's trade deadline approaches.
