Are the Rockets interested in Rajon Rondo?

Now that Dwight Howard has committed to Houston (probably, you never know with Dwight...), they may be in the market to find him an elite point guard.  From NBA analyst Brett Poirier:

Sources: If the Rockets can unload enough cap room, they're likely to make an offer for Rajon Rondo.

Rondo is in the $12 million per year category, not totally unrealistic. The only problem, and it's a big one, is getting Boston to trade him

Personally, I don't see Houston having enough to offer. But there's no harm in trying.

As Poirier says, the Rockets probably don't have too much they can offer that the Celtics will be interested in.  But if they mention draft picks, the way things are going I'm sure Danny Ainge will listen.
