The Houston Rockets are "aggressively" pursuing Chris Paul in free agency.

The Rockets are attempting to clear the necessary cap space to offer Paul a maximum contact of 35 percent of the salary cap. The Rockets are considering trading away Patrick Beverley and Ryan Anderson.

The Rockets have a "serious chance of luring Chris Paul away from the Los Angeles Clippers," said Chris Haynes.

Paul would have signed with the Rockets in 2013 had the Clippers not brought in Doc Rivers as head coach.
