Report: Rockets ‘Actively Shopping’ Patrick Beverley
The Houston Rockets are reportedly “actively shopping” point guard Patrick Beverley prior to the 2017 NBA Draft.
Houston needs to clear cap room in order to pursue a marquee player in the offseason.
Beverley’s remaining contract of $10.5 million over two seasons would make him an enticing trade piece.

From the Sporting News:
The Houston Rockets have been actively shopping point guard Patrick Beverley, a source with knowledge of the situation told Sporting News on Tuesday.
Beverley, who averaged 9.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists last season, has been open to a trade away from Houston leading into this offseason, the source said, and has consulted with the team about the possible move. […]
The Rockets have been planning to pursue first-tier free agents this summer, and could be willing to move Beverley if it helps create cap space.
