The Rockets are expected to reach out to the Celtics at some point this summer to get a feel for whether Rajon Rondo is in fact available, something that currently is not the case.
Rondo would be an ideal fit for the Rockets and if there was ever a time for them to be motivated to pursue a deal, the time is now.
Any deal with the Rockets would have to be a combination of players that includes Omer Asik, one of the league's best rim protectors in addition to being a favorite of Celtics assistant coach Ron Adams when the two were both in Chicago.
