It looks like the Houston Rockets are gearing up to add another big name.

After an offseason that included the additions of scorers such as Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon, the Rockets are now rumored to be the favorites to acquire Rudy Gay through trade, assuming the Sacramento Kings go through with a deal.

Via Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders:

"The next hurdle is value. League sources say while there are teams that have expressed interest in Gay – most notably the Houston Rockets – getting anything of real value back on what could be a one-year rental at Gay’s price tag is hard math to make work. There is a sense among league insiders that the Kings are not looking for a ton in return for Gay, so that may make finding a deal a little easier even with all the issues surrounding a deal."

The Rockets clearly want to finish better than the eighth seed in the Western Conference this year and they have surrounded James Harden with two pure scorers in order to accomplish that goal.

However, if the team were to acquire Gay, who is a career 18.4 point-per-game scorer and has been the go-to option on his teams for many years, the Rockets would truly be an offensive threat to be reckoned with.

While the team's defense may be an issue, with Mike D'Antoni as head coach, there is little doubt the Rockets would have one of the best quartets of scorers in the league.

If the Rockets are serious about acquiring the veteran small forward, they would likely have to rid themselves of one or two of their small forwards. They currently have four players under contract at the three position.
