The Houston Rockets have established themselves as a rising force after a 50-win season and a No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. But Houston's first-round playoff exit to the Golden State Warriors exposed a critical need for a go-to offensive star.

Per ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith, who happens to be a longtime Knicks fan, that’s the message he’s seemingly heard from Houston. Ime Udoka is one of the best coaches in the NBA. This brother is something better.

A former first-round pick for the 76ers in 2017, Simmons looked to have a bright future in the league after winning Rookie Of The Year in 2018, being named an All-Star in 2019, and earning an All-Defensive First Team and All-NBA in 2020. Unfortunately, it was not the case as the star dimmed past the 2020 season.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green recently took to Instagram to show off a new tattoo of NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman.

A new NBA rumor suggests the Los Angeles Lakers could get competition from a top rival for Brook Lopez in free agency.

Hollins: “KD would fit in beautifully, and I believe he already has a relationship with Ime. There’s a high level of respect for him from our guys.”

This exit from Phoenix has been inevitable for the 36-year-old superstar, but teams have begun to speculate just how much value is left in Durant. He is coming off a solid season for the Suns, where he logged 62 games, averaging 26.6 points per game on 53% shooting overall.

Reed Sheppard will begin his sophomore NBA campaign with a 2025 summer-league stint for the Rockets, per Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle.
