5 Free Agents the Houston Rockets Should Target in 2015 Offseason

The Houston Rockets' title aspirations are still alive, but it's always fun to look ahead and see what might happen in the offseason. Daryl Morey isn't afraid of making big moves and figures to be aggressive again after this season's success. Here are five players who they should target in free agency.

Houston will be in the market to add point guard depth in the offseason. Aaron Brooks has already had a stint with the Rockets and would be a good fit with their current system. He performed well filling in for Derrick Rose this season and could take over for Jason Terry, who might retire after the season.

4. Gary Neal

Gary Neal would fit a similar role as Aaron Brooks would. He has bounced around the league and wouldn't cost much for the Rockets to bring in. He is a good 3-point shooter, which is the main focus of Houston's offense.

3. Gerald Green

Gerald Green had his moments with the Suns coaching staff and could probably use a change of scenery. His scoring ability off the bench is something Houston could use. Shot selection is something that gets Green in trouble, but he should benefit from being in the Rockets' system that provides players with a lot of freedom.

2. Anthony Morrow

Anthony Morrow is in the league for one reason -- his outside shooting ability. Morrow had a bounce-back season with Oklahoma City and should have plenty of suitors this offseason. Houston is always looking for players who can spread the court for James Harden, and Morrow will be one of the best available shooters.

1. LaMarcus Aldridge

The big ticket item on Houston's offseason wishlist figures to be LaMarcus Aldridge. Rumors have been swirling about his future after a tough finish to Portland's season. The trio of Harden, Howard and Aldridge would put Houston on another level. It won't be easy, but targeting Aldridge should be the top priority for Houston in the offseason.

Dwight Howard is oftentimes criticized for being a diva, and I'm sure some of it is warranted. However, during Houston's recent trip to Boston, he did something pretty awesome. Howard gave a young Celtics fan his jersey in exchange for a dab, and it clearly made the kid's day.

James Harden Refuses To Play Defense -- Again

James Harden has a terrible reputation when it comes to playing defense. There's no denying what he's capable of offensively, but defending just isn't his cup of tea. He proved this to be the case once again in Houston's matchup with the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, and his feeble efforts are simply inexcusable.
