Dwight Howard

Daryl Morey lives in the now. And, by extension, so do the Houston Rockets. Relative to last season’s second-place finish in the Western Conference, the Rockets are laying a dud. They’re miles away, in terms of championship value, from the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs, and if [...]

The Dwight Howard experiment in Houston may be nearing its end. A few years ago, his arrival to the Rockets was a huge social media phenomenon, as he chose to take less money to get out of L.A. Only a few years in, he’s reportedly not happy with playing in Harden’s shadow. Frankly, it is [...]

Listen hard enough and, through the Miami Heat’s fits of laughter, you’ll hear that they have no plans to trade Hassan Whiteside.

According to Dwight Howard, Dwight Howard isn’t looking to move on from the Houston Rockets. You read that right.

If Kobe Bryant had gotten his way in 2011, Carmelo Anthony would now be a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, not the New York Knicks. This, of course, assumes that the two stars would have coexisted together this long. There’s only one ball allowed on the floor at a time, you know. The offensive [...]

The Houston Rockets have decided to let Terrence Jones and Donatas Motiejunas hit the semi-open market this coming summer. With the Oct. 31 deadline looming for teams to iron out contract extensions with fourth-year players, the Houston Rockets have elected to bypass talks with their two stretch bigs altogether, according to Yahoo Sports’ Shams Charania: [...]

It looks like Kobe Bryant will be ready for opening night. Which, naturally, means Dwight Howard is going to will himself to be ready by “his” opening night as well. No, the Houston Rockets will not be opening their 2015-16 calendar against the Los Angeles Lakers. They’ll be playing host to the Denver Nuggets next [...]
