With four-team Dwight Howard deal no longer in play, source says Houston is calling teams with cap space looking to dump more salary. The Rockets are still pushing hard to put the best package in front of Orlando, though @EricPincus is reporting the Rockets' target may be the Lakers' Andrew Bynum. Per Pincus, the Magic, Rockets and Lakers have had preliminary talks about a deal that would send Howard to the Lakers, Bynum to Houston and picks/prospects/cap relief to Orlando

Rockets fan here and I think you guys are a little confused about the Rockets first round pick situation. The Hawks currently own our pick for next year if we make the playoffs otherwise we keep it because it is lottery protected. But because of the Ted S. rule we can't currently trade our 2014 first round pick either so the first Rockets' first round draft pick that you guys could receive would be for the 2015 draft.

Key development in Lakers' pursuit of Dwight Howard: They're more open to taking back contract of G-F Jason Richardson (3 yrs, $18.6 mill).
