The Rockets are doing "anything and everything" they can to trade Aaron Brooks or Carlos Delfino in conjuction with Thursday's draft, according to ESPN.com. If Houston can't turn Brooks and/or Delfino into assets via trades, they are expected to lose them to free agency. Brooks would earn $2.5 million next season while Delfino would earn $3 million option, but both salaries are fully unguaranteed and the Rockets are eager to clear salary cap space for their pursuit of Dwight Howard.
