Also, to be clear, the Rockets love KD. He's been great this season, live-ball turnovers excluded. Even better off the court, as far as mentorship...
Correct, this is the root of the issue. There is a massive disconnect between how the Rockets view Fred and how a lot of fans do. If KD had gone...
It's literally the opposite of a leak, it was me reminding people of something I reported (and others said similar things) literally before the KD...
The thing is, it's almost impossible to replace the production of a guy you're counting on for that much from. Even if you have a backup to Kevin...
Also, one other thing on the "gotta go all-in with a 37-year-old KD" argument: In the weeks leading up to the June 22 trade agreement, we all...
This, and I say that as someone in the room. It's a mistake to take it at face value and assume that's all that's going on. A lot of the...
Ticket fairy checking in... I've got two sets of lowers tonight (two each, one pair in 103 and other 123) that I'm happy to give away to anyone in...
Agree on all of this. I suspect what probably happened here is they shut him down entirely for 2-3 weeks to let the oblique heal, and then the...
Also, one other thing to keep in mind: Not sure if we'll get a true "post mortem" explanation for how all this went down. In contrast to, say,...
Understood, and I didn't think you were. Just wanted to clarify since A) I saw someone else ask the same question, and B) I have been kinda...

Correct, a lot of this discussion is being overblown due to semantics and lacking context. Here's a continuation of what Stone said following that...
For clarity, this will be a small-ish presser with just Rafael, since KD won't physically be in town prior to Summer League. They're hopeful of...
I just think it sorta comes with the territory once they traded for a 37-year-old All-Star. Context. But yes, they basically swapped Cam’s higher...
They definitely talked to his management, that’s part of how they knew these discussions were happening! His agent just didn't want to say...
So do we still think Shams/Kelly were blindly guessing, speculating, and/or making things up? Just checking.
You can say all the right things, and it doesn't mean that it automatically happens. Yes, I feel confident in saying the Rockets tried to empower...
Nothing concrete yet, but beyond the obvious "going big" stuff, I do think they realize that they've got to make Reed feel more empowered. There's...
Fair points, appreciate the clarifications and kind words. After seeing that Cam thread last week where a few people were accusing Shams/Kelly of...
When Dame doesn't come here for his rehab tour, it's probably my fault
