It's not just Dwight Howard the Rockets are after, even though he's clearly the No. 1 target of all the draft moves being made leading up to Thursday. Reports say Houston is willing to explore other options if the Orlando Magic don't budge in trade offers for Howard.
Other players the Rockets are considering pursuing are Josh Smith of the Hawks and Tyreke Evans in Sacramento. A deal for Evans would include Kyle Lowry, just as about any deal likely would, and it's up to the Kings whether or not they want to make the move.
Trade story add: Dwight obviously Rockets' dream target but sources say they'll pursue Atlanta's Josh Smith (and others) if ORL won't budge

The reports on acquiring Evans were refuted by Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated.
