The Regime Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 ESPN.com's Chad Ford wrote in a chat on Wednesday that the Rockets are very active in trade talks. According to Ford, Yao Ming isn't the only player Houston is making available in trade discussions. "Rockets are very, very active right now. Virtually everyone on the team is for sale for the right price," Ford wrote. "I've heard Yao, Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Battier all mentioned. Rockets want/need a star right now and are willing to package players together to get it. Problem is their talent level is solid, but overpaid. Martin and Scola are good, but few teams want those contracts. Yao is solid as an expiring contract, but there are tons of those floating around. If you believe Yao will come back, could be some value there, but he's an unrestricted free agent this summer." http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/70839/20101229/houston_shopping_virtually_everybody/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htown11 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Sensible thing to do. Daryl Morey has been known for his minor trades in making a team successful but has yet to acquire a true superstar. The Rockets are stacked with role players, and other interesting assets which I am sure DM hopes will land him a legit star. With the Yao/Tmac era in the past it's time to find a new star that can anchor the load for the Rockets. They have some nice expiring contracts to work with.

Dash Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Morey is ALWAYS looking to make an upgrade in the starting lineup or rotation. This is comes as no surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
