When the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets meet next season, playing nice is out of the question. Crap is going to get real brutal, real quick. Tensions are going to boil over. They're already boiling over. Since leaving the Rockets for the Mavericks, Chandler Parsons has been vocal about the entire process, commending Dallas and [...]

Daryl Morey wants you to know you’re freaking crazy, Mark Cuban. That’s basically what the Houston Rockets’ general manager implied of the Dallas Mavericks and their fearless, outspoken owner and their pursuit of Chandler Parsons—who they successfully signed, mind you, but not without paying a steep, above-market price. Here’s what Morey told KBME-AM 790 in [...]

Where there’s an available superstar, there’s Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey waiting in the wings, pen in one hand, checkbook in the other. The Rockets and Morey just won’t go away. Not when it comes to courting superstar free agents. Not when it comes to Chris Bosh. According to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein, the Rockets [...]

Looky here at this free-agency summit. Okay fine, it wasn’t really a summit. It was more like a private confab. A sequestered meeting between friends. An invite-only powwow. Yeah, that’s was this was. I think. After listening to the Houston Rockets’ free-agency pitch, Carmelo Anthony stayed behind with Dwight Howard and James Harden—both of whom [...]

After losing their first two games at home, the Houston Rockets were in a bad place.

During an interview with ESPN’s Hannah Storm, the Houston Rockets superstar discussed a number of important topics, including his departure from the Oklahoma City Thunder. He confirmed that money forced his hand in leaving and that if it [...]

Whoa. All we can say to this is, “Whoa.” Amid all this Phil Jackson and James Dolan business, some of us have forgotten about Carmelo Anthony’s impending free agency. Sort of. It’s been tabled, really. Anthony’s future cannot be dealt with until July, so there’s no use focusing on it now. More pressing things, such [...]

One of the biggest surprises of the season has been the top-seeded Portland Trailblazers. We even shone some light on them in our weekly THD Video series. 7-year veteran LaMarcus Aldridge has expanded his game, and, as a result, he’s enjoying his best professional season. His running mate and partner in crime is 2nd year [...]

This is both weird and not so weird. The Houston Rockets are known to be shopping disgruntled center Omer Asik, but according to ESPN New York 98.7 FM’s and MSG Networks’ Alan Hahn, they may also be gauging value for Jeremy Lin as well. Audio of what Hahn said can be found here while a [...]
