Once again, the Houston Rockets have shown some aggressiveness toward yet another deadline.

It has been reported that the Minnesota Timberwolves are prepared to execute a buyout of Martin’s contract, making him available to sign with teams that have interest.
It has been confirmed that the Rockets have that interest as per ESPN 1500AM Twin Cities and KSTP-TV’s Darren Wolfson:
