Houston Rockets Rumors
Albert Nahmad: Danuel House/Rockets bid-ask spread from January was 3/$4.2M vs. 3/$11.9M… But that’s slightly misleading. It’s just $2.3M/year more over next two seasons. And while the extra $3.1M this season would’ve made them tax team, they also didn’t know at the time that they’d avoid it.
Tas Melas: James Harden is the first player to score 30+ pts vs. 29 different teams in a season. This is a James Harden stat you can’t ignore.
David Hardisty: FINAL: Rockets 121, Hawks 105. Make it 12 wins in the last 13. Harden pours in 31p-10a-8r, Capela outstanding with 26p-11r, Chris Paul adds 11 dimes and Danuel House (19p) knocks down 6-11 from three,
Jonathan Feigen: Harden with 31-10-8, has now scored at least 30 vs. every Rockets opponent this season. Hawks were last on the list.
Houston Rockets guard James Harden surpassed Golden State’s Stephen Curry for the most 3-point field goals attempted in a season with his first eight attempts Tuesday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Harden entered Tuesday’s game with 879 attempts, seven behind the 886 Curry attempted during the 2015-16 season.
Paul said fans that expected the point guard solution to head to Atlanta were not alone. “I got up at the draft,” Paul said of when the second pick was about to be announced. “They pretty much told me they were picking me. I found a house (in Gwinnett County) and everything.” Instead, Deron Williams went with the third pick to the Utah Jazz and Paul was snapped up by New Orleans with the fourth pick.
