Boston Herald writer Steve Bulpett is reporting that the Houston Rockets are making a push for two time Celtic Antoine Walker, with Walker possibly visiting the team as early as next week.
Danny Ainge also contacted Bartelstein to reiterate the Celtics' interest in bringing back Walker. But assuming the Rockets are willing to spend their entire mid-level exception (approximately $5 million for one season), Walker could find Houston a more inviting option than the Celtics because of the Western Conference team's proximity to contending for a title.
