The Rockets have been discussing moving up in the draft with the Kings at No. 5 and Raptors at No. 8, according to sources.

Houston has made both the No. 14 and No. 16 selections available, but the key to any trade could be Kyle Lowry.

Sources say the Rockets are most fond of Andre Drummond.

One rival GM believes the Rockets are attempting to acquire two top-10 picks with the intention of offering them to the Magic for Dwight Howard. The Rockets are one team willing to trade for Howard without an assurance on an extension.
