The Rockets' potential Jeremy Lin trade won't be put in motion until the Rockets secure a free-agent commitment. The Sixers and Bucks are the two leading candidates to be trade partners. Those teams won't be looking to acquire Lin for his skills as a point guard, but more because of the draft picks and/or young players that would come with it. Lin's deal is worth almost $15 million this season, so the Rockets will need to get that off their books to add a third max player to Dwight Howard and James Harden.
