@HorryForThree @GormanChristoph @SamQuinnCBS I think the Rockets still consider themselves a win-now situation. They won 52 games last year. Re: not on KD’s timeline, I think that means they won’t blindly sacrifice young assets in an all-out push for the Finals. Doesn’t mean they don’t still have Finals aspirations.

Yesterday was Will Anderson Jr.’s first youth football camp in Houston, btw. Great turnout. Hundreds of campers went through drills, races + various activities w/Anderson. Seemed like a thrill for both the kids + Texans’ star. “My first camp in Houston, the city showed up big.”

I asked Will Anderson Jr. if he plans to slow his motor at Texans’ practice. Don’t count on it. “Naturally that’s who I am. I've been like that since high school.” "They've been trying to slow me down, but I love the preparation, I love the process, and for me, the preparation and the process has to be consistent. The only way it can be consistent is if you practice the way you want to play in the game.”

DeMeco Ryans on Will Anderson Jr: “Will continues to wreck practice I’m probably going to have to sit him out here soon. We have to be able to actually practice. He keeps wrecking practice, keeps causing havoc, that’s what he does.”

@BimaThug @Sam_Vecenie Some future 2nd is about right. All due respect to Clint, but I think Rockets could really benefit from a springier center in that spot. A true vertical spacer (Clint of old certainly was! Isn’t anymore, imo)

@BimaThug @Sam_Vecenie Thoughts on the Capela contract as aggregated salary in any summer trade? Seems like Rockets would have to attach picks in that scenario given he has 2 years of guaranteed money (rough signing there by Rafael & Co.)

@BimaThug @fyrebear @Sam_Vecenie I also agree with that first sentence more than the general Rockets public, btw. Think Venecie’s point re: championship window isn’t a bad one at all.

I asked Vernon Maxwell how Hakeem Olajuwon would fare vs. Victor Wembanyama. “[Wembanyama] wouldn’t be able to guard him. Dream would be falling away from all that 7’4” shit. He wouldn’t be able to guard Dream, Dream just had too much.” “It would have been a massacre.”

Good to see Vernon Maxwell back in the fold with the Rockets. Here’s Maxwell on his return and Houston’s new jerseys. “Vernon Maxwell, man, who ever thought Vernon Maxwell would be back doing all this? So, kudos to the Rockets, man.” “Ketchup and mustard, it was one of my favorite jerseys. I always loved wearing it. I knew when I put it on, someone was gonna be in trouble.”

Rudy Tomjanovich says the new Rockets jerseys bring back “warm memories” of the 1994 and 1995 championship teams. Adds: “There were so many people that didn’t believe we could do it, and none of us had. And we pulled together and got it done.”
