Jeremy Lin's days with Houston Rockets could be numbered as the team prepares to make some aggressive moves before the Feb 20 trade deadline. According to the latest rumours, the Rockets are targeting a trade with the Celtics for All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo.

Reports indicated the Rockets are very much interested to get Rondo by sending Lin, defensive center Omer Asik and a future first-round pick to the Celtics.

The Rockets could prepare a package consisting of point guard Jeremy Lin, center Omer Asik and a first-round pick for the Celtics in exchange for Rondo before the trade deadline, according to Yahoo Sports.

Rondo is just coming off almost year-long knee rehabilitation after he suffered a torn ACL injury in 2013. Rondo is averaging 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in 21 minutes of action, but his numbers are expected to take off once he was cleared to play more minutes on the floor.

The Rockets, on the other hand, are desperate to add another piece to their championship puzzle, and they believed the All-Star guard perfectly fits their system. Already boasting Dwight Howard, Chandler Parsons, James Harden and budding Terrence Jones, the Rockets front office believe Rondo's pass-first approach will help the team fulfill its NBA title aspirations.

In the latest article by Mitch Lawrence of the New York Daily News, he indicated that more than few general managers believe Rondo will be moved before the midseason trade deadline.

"Rajon Rondo is finally back for the Celtics, and now the question becomes how long will he stay in Boston." Lawrence stated in his latest article.

"Rondo is the last blue chip from the 2008 championship team and 2010 Finals team that Celtics president Danny Ainge can convert into assets as he rebuilds the franchise. More than a few GMs around the league expect Rondo to be on the move, if not at the trading deadline next month, then maybe in June at draft time," he added

Hot Now: Jeremy Lin Still Has Chance To Be All-Star; Injuries To Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul Open Spot for Linsanity

Lin Back at East Coast Home

Lin spent four years of his college basketball years at Harvard University, where he became one of the most explosive scorers in the Ivy League. As everybody knows by now, Lin went undrafted in 2010 but took opportunity by the horn during his tenure with the New York Knicks. Thus, Linsanity was born at Madison Square Garden.

The former Harvard hotshot is averaging at least 13 points and 4 dimes per game in a sixth man role for the Rockets. However, Lin proved he can produce more than his average output, if given a chance to step up in the absence of James Harden.

Lin is an integral part of the Rockets. However, he also needs a fresh environment to really show his capability in this league. If the Rockets-Celtics trade pushes through, Lin will have a brand new environment with the Celtics, and at the same time play with a team that has less expectations.

The Taiwanese-American point guard will surely benefit from the Celtics up-tempo play, and could carve a reputation as a bonafide superstar if given solid pieces around him.
