First Evan Mobley's camp took issue with the Rockets due to their commitment to Kevin Porter Jr.
Now this about Stephon Castle because of the Rockets commitment to Fred VanVleet & Jalen Green.
Man.
Jeremy Lin says he was devastated when the Knicks never made an offer to keep him after his Linsanity run:
“The Rockets offered $29,000,000… I would’ve taken $8,000,000 with the Knicks. I was crushed when my agent told me ‘there’s no offer from New York on the table’.”

I asked Vernon Maxwell how Hakeem Olajuwon would fare vs. Victor Wembanyama.
“[Wembanyama] wouldn’t be able to guard him. Dream would be falling away from all that 7’4” shit. He wouldn’t be able to guard Dream, Dream just had too much.”
“It would have been a massacre.”
NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo tells the story of when Adidas tried to FINESSE him early in his career and not sign his brother even though they agreed to, which ultimately led to him signing with Nike 😳👀
He also shared GOLD advice for young athletes on managing their inner circle and major business decisions early on 🔥
“There’s two things that you can do. One, don’t ever let your lawyer, financial adviser, and agent know one another. They should never be boys and cool… because they keep one another accountable.”
I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Rick Adelman. Brilliant coach who really changed the game. He coached the Rockets from 2007-2011, including Houston's 22-game win streak. He also was drafted by the Rockets in 1968. That 2008-09 team was such a fun one to watch. RIP, coach.
The Houston Rockets and the Fertitta Family mourn the passing of Rick Adelman, one of the most respected and influential figures in NBA history.
During his four seasons in Houston, Coach Adelman guided the Rockets with professionalism, integrity, and a deep commitment to the game. His role in leading the team during the 22-game winning streak in 2008 remains one of the most remarkable achievements in franchise history and will always be remembered by Rockets fans.
We extend our deepest condolences to Mary Kay, his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy will forever be a part of Rockets history and the fabric of the NBA.
The only team I look a lil sideways at rooting for as a Rockets fan is Golden State. No matter how old or young you are, you watched the Warriors disrespect this team.
