The Houston Rockets trade deadline moves were anticlimactic to say the least. Going into the All-Star break, rumors that the Rockets were trying to trade Dwight Howard began to surface from every corner of the internet.
Weeks before those rumors were heard, the thought around the league was that the Rockets would try to deal Ty Lawson or Terrence Jones before the trade deadline. It was almost a certainty that one of those three players, if not all of them would not finish the second half of the season in a Rockets uniform.
