More on this storyline
Per BasketNews sources, ProBasket Consulting and Brightside Sports, responsible for managing Howard’s affairs in Europe, are actively presenting Howard to European teams, including EuroLeague and EuroCup clubs. Beyond the NBA, Europe and the NBL league in Australia are the destinations Howard is focusing on. Howard aims to include an NBA exit clause in any potential agreement, stressing his goal to return to the league where he has spent 18 years of his career. -via BasketNews / November 28, 2023
Nothing, however, might have better displayed the Rockets’ growth more than Şengün’s late-game hustle plays. “Last year … energy was different,” Şengün said, agreeing that he likely would not have made those plays last season. “We are winning right now, five in a row. You want to win every game and you want to fight for every ball.” He scored as he has all season. With 24 points on 11 of 15 shooting, he is averaging 19 points on 61.7% shooting. The only other Rockets players to have averaged at least 19 points while shooting 60% or better through the first eight games of a season are Dwight Howard in 2014-15 and Rudy Tomjanovich in 1976-77. -via Houston Chronicle / November 11, 2023
Dameris reminisced about GM Morey’s strategic moves during his time with the Houston Rockets, acquiring players like Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. He then pointed out how Morey adapted the system with the Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid and, last but not least, highlighted the trade where the Brooklyn Nets got Ben Simmons. “Listen, James, if you’ve ever had those friends who had bad roommates over and over, they complained about their bad roommates, ‘this guy is terrible, the bad roommate here.’ They never thought, being self-aware enough, that they were the bad roommate. They’re the problem. “Hey James, you’re the problem,” Dameris exclaimed. “If this doesn’t work this year in this system with this team, and you’re gonna go and point fingers at everybody else, and you’re gonna go back home and swiping right for another team, there’s not gonna be anybody left. Because, James, you’re not the Beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem.” -via BasketNews / November 11, 2023
