Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander dropped the biggest bomb of the offseason; announcing the team is for sale. Frankly, this news is stunning, especially given the timing. To wit, the Rockets have been arguably the most aggressive team this summer.
First came the major sign and trade deal to bring Chris Paul to Houston. Free agent defensive specialist P.J. Tucker followed. Nene was re-signed and Tarik Black was added. Lost amid Monday’s big announcement was Luc Mbah a Moute who just signed to a 1-year, $2.1 million deal. Furthermore, the most recent narrative has Houston aggressively pursuing a trade (potentially requiring 4 teams) to add Carmelo Anthony.
