Those still looking to hand out blame for the Houston Rockets’ ambitiously abysmal summer aren’t going to be happy. Their job just got a lot harder. And weirder.

Oh, Dwight. All of us have our vices. Mine’s eating pizza rolls in excess. I diet—without portioning—week by week, rarely succumbing to candy and fast-food cravings.

Per ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard, Bledsoe, a restricted free agent, is seeking a five-year, $80 million contract from the Suns: The future of one of the most talented free agents left on the market remains [...]
