The Rockets have to know some inside information.
After the Magic begged Dwight Howard to come back to the relationship and Dwight in turn gave them their loyalty ring back, Orlando has no choice but to trade him.
They wanted Andrew Bynum, but it Bynum doesn’t want them, so that leaves Houston.
Scola is a good player but it appears he will be collateral damage in their efforts to bring Mr. Loyalty to Houston.
Houston has decided to use the amnesty provision on Luis Scola and will likely file with NBA on Friday, league sources tell Y! Sports.
