@ShamsCharania: Rockets are nearing a deal with Dillon Brooks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Houston has been lining up trades around league, and could turn Brooks deal into sign-and-trade with Memphis.

[Wojnarowski] Front offices talking to Portland today were left with impression that GM Joe Cronin is pursuing a star-level return package for Damian Lillard – and that Cronin plans to look well beyond the Miami Heat to find one.

could still be in play
Offload Tobiass and/or Harden
Portland ships Harden to some other desperate squad like the Knicksmeme or Clippers

I don't see why they'd give anything of much value

With or without giving up Maxey? He'd have to be in there one would think

Vred Fan Fleet and Dillon Brooks

Playoffs this upcoming season! Wide collection of young talent all over the roster. Just need to develop.
Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Sengun, those three in particular, have all-star potential too.

Landing Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore this past draft was amazing. Just lacked those veterans.
But now it's looking like a more legitimate roster. Ime Udoka is a good coach. We just need the results.

Only thing holding the Houston Rockets back from being a great team is simply youth. 22, 21, 20, 18 year old studs but they're kids!

Out of of all the potential young stars the Rockets currently have no doubt Alperen Sengun is the most skilled (Euro/Baby Jokic/Gasol clone).

Paul George knows! He knows his basketball.

@wojespn: Free agent G Dillon Brooks has agreed on a four-year, $80 million contract with the Houston Rockets, his agent Mike George of @OneLegacySports tells ESPN. Rockets have now landed two targets in free agency — Fred VanVleet and Brooks.

I'm very happy now! Just what the Houston Rockets needed. Gritty, hard-nosed veterans to lead the young kids. Van Vleet and Brooks are both leaders. Both have that killer mentality. With Van Vleet he's an NBA champion, all-star and a good defender. Can knock down shots. Dillon Brooks is more of a crazy guy that will get in your face. I like it though. The Rockets can still add a defensive center to split time with Sengun.

I'm so tired I'm skipping a space in VanVleet's name. I see 35-40 wins for a young Rockets team next year.

I hope they can push out enough wins to get in the Play-In Tournament (7-10 seed).

The Houston Rockets and Houston Texans are shadowing each other. Both have been horrible the past three years.
And both are going to be very good soon. As early as this upcoming season. Super excited about both teams right now!

Cavs got the better wing for 17 million less

It's so frustrating I can't even celebrate on Twitter. I have to wait for a new limit of views tomorrow.
I've got 982 followers on Twitter. Nearly 40,000 tweets. I wanted to hit 1,000 followers but I can't now.
This feels like the Internet back in 1999. I have to search for information. Thanks for the tweet updates.
