The Houston Rockets haven't exactly come out hot after filling in their point guard shortage with Ty Lawson, who has been struggling at this point.
His name has been mentioned in trade rumors, although the Rockets have shot them down as expected and assured Lawson that there is no truth to such.
For his part, Lawson could care less and says he will just try his best to play his game and hopefully showcase the performance that made him a top prospect when he was still with the Denver Nuggets.
Right now, rumors and speculations on which team could possibly be interested in Lawson are fyling. But seeing that the offseason didn't really see a lot of suitors, it may involve other players and probably teams to make it work.
Eric Bledsoe of the Phoenix Suns could be a possibility but a one-for-one trade makes it somehow hard to consummate. How about packaging Markieff Morris with Bledsoe? Would it make sense?
Morris has been the subject of possible trade rumors as well so such is not far-fetched. Morris and Bledsoe for Lawson and Terence Jones (the same player whom Rockets can likely give up for trade) could be feasible, although some draft picks could sweeten the pot a bit.
How about if a third team comes in the picture? Right now the Celtics don't seem to be interested in trading away their players, although the ones in the offseason could come into play once more.
The names of Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk were in the trade rumor mill in the offseason so they could be inserted as well. And chances are they could be headed to Phoenix to offset the possible loss of Morris. Not that Jones is not enough but more of insurance just in case.
Bear in mind that these are only scenarios, meaning there is nothing definite for now. It could be a possibility especially since the teams in mention could use a change in manpower.
