The Rockets have a TON of options to open up the necessary cap space to sign Dwight. Thomas Robinson and Asik are both still easy to trade, and Lin might be too, considering how much revenue he can bring in through international fanfare. By my calculations, they have about $45M tied up if they don't keep Garcia/Delfino/Brooks, and their other lower-salary guys are almost all very good values... Houston can very easily get $20-25M under the cap while still keeping 3 or their 4 top players.
