Stephon Castle’s camp reportedly sent signals to the Houston Rockets not to draft him because he didn’t want to play behind Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green, per @sam_amick
“Per league sources, Rockets coach and former Spurs assistant Ime Udoka was a huge fan of Castle’s (which Castle said he was well aware of). But with veteran Fred VanVleet manning the point guard position and young Jalen Green at the two-guard spot, Castle and his camp sent the kinds of signals Houston’s way that eventually led to him landing in San Antonio. Just as he’d hoped.”

@MarzTalksSports Jalen Brunson is the closer and will always get the credit for that. But KAT changed this offense dramatically and is the reason for this dominance
Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t as fondly to a trade to the Heat because of what the roster would look like after a trade, per @sam_amick.
Miami would likely have to gut their roster in order to make a trade that would appeal to the Bucks, and that situation would feel like Milwaukee all over again for Giannis.
