The Houston Rockets do not intend to be a silent partner in the summer's free agent proceedings. While the rival Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs have long been linked to Aldridge in free agency rumors, the Rockets are the lone Texas team that hasn't been discussed much with respect to the four-time All-Star and Texas native. As for Love, the star big man opted out of the final year of his contract on Wednesday, making the Cleveland Cavaliers power forward an unrestricted free agent as of July 1. Nabbing one of the summer's star free agents will require maximum cap space, however, something the Rockets aren't currently positioned to have. On that note, ESPN's Marc Stein reports that Houston will likely move forward Terrence Jones during Thursday's NBA Draft. Jones, who is set to earn nearly $2.5 million next season, will be a restricted free agent next summer if he isn't extended by Oct. 31. - See more at: http://www.thescore.com/nba/news/785639
