HOU trades Wall/Gordon/House for Morris/Kennard/Powell

Doesn't make a lot of sense for Houston financially.
They would be trading humongous relatively short term (two years) salary for slightly smaller but longer term salary. This trade would have them still be paying Kennard and Morris nearly $30 Million at a time when Wall and Gordon would be completely off the books.

Plus I'm not sure Houston's current rebuild would be a situation Morris would find ideal.
