    5 future 2nd round draft picks were the Rockets franchise players

    Right now there's some 7th grade baller -- who's a huge Rockets fan -- that's destined to play at some mid-major D-1 college shaking his fist to...

    Durant traded to Houston for Green, Brooks, #10 pick, and multiple 2nd rounders

    Another thing about this trade -- the money had to match, obviously. And PHX needed to recoup some of their draft capital... ...but this year's...

    Durant traded to Houston for Green, Brooks, #10 pick, and multiple 2nd rounders

    I seriously anticipated the trade would end up being Green, Jabari Smith Jr., the 10th pick, and cap filler. Us being able to keep the other...

    Rockets going for Kevin Durant

    I agree. If the Rockets hold firm they win either way. A year ago who would've thought (from a reasonable-person's perspective) that this year's...

    No Durant and No Giannis, what's next?

    It's crazy to think we have this year's 10th pick not even expecting it to convey from PHX considering -- at least at this time a year ago -- most...

    [Yossi] Mock Offseason

    Agreed. Fred's AAV (if we re-sign/extend him) should be nowhere close to what we overpaid for him back when we were a dumpster fire. He went...

    Chris Mannix: In trade pursuits, Ime Udoka ‘a real asset’ for Rockets

    Yeah I came to read about Ime and his ability to connect with stars around the league and now I'm thinking about double step-ups in tax basis and...

    Rockets going for Kevin Durant

    The more I think about the players and picks needed to get KD, and THEN almost being required to extend him at the max (because otherwise he'd be...

    Crazy?......too awkward?.......Plausible?......

    I would hope that the Rockets aren't bringing FVV back at $40M-ish but, rather, extending him at something much more in-line with what the market...

    Rockets acquire Suns picks, return Nets picks to Brooklyn

    I may be totally mistaken, but wasn't this years Suns pick a swap (as opposed to us receiving the Phoenix pick outright...) via the Nets? If so,...

    Walter Clayton (If we keep 9th pick)

    I agree on Kon. I think he'll be gone if we're picking 9th, but the shooting and floor spacing he'd provide would be really nice. Not a great...

    Will JG stay on the roster next season?

    I like Jalen but unfortunately I agree. In a salary cap league there's only so many max-type (or near-max) contracts that you can carry. You...

    Paging Doc Rocket
