The Houston Rockets sure have been busy this offseason. The Rockets already have acquired Chris Paul and signed superstar guard James Harden to an extension, which reportedly is the biggest in NBA history, but they reportedly have their sights set on even more. Houston is “turning full attention” to adding Carmelo Anthony to its roster in a trade with the New York Knicks, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst. It appears the Rockets are going all in trying to find the right mix that can compete for an NBA title in the age of the Golden State Warriors and LeBron James. But there are no guarantees the Knicks would... NESN.com

James Harden Sued For Allegedly Orchestrating Moses Malone Jr.’s Robbery, Per Re…
Share this: James Harden finds himself in a bizarre legal situation just days after his Houston Rockets’ playoff exit. Harden is being sued by Moses Malone Jr., who claims the Rockets guard orchestrated a plan to assault and rob Malone last year, according to Isiah Carey of FOX 26 News in Houston. Malone, the son of NBA legend Moses Malone, was beaten by a group of men at Houston’s V-Live strip club last June and reportedly had $15,000 worth of jewelry stolen from him. At the time, Malone’s lawyers claimed he was confronted because of a critical Facebook post he made about Harden. Malone apparently was upset that the NBA star was charging $250 for a basketball camp. According to Carey, Malone’s suit alleges that
Stephen A. Smith On James Harden’s No-Show: ‘He Looks Like He Was Drugged’
Share this: With talks of a “Space Jam” sequel coming down the road, it looked Thursday night like Houston Rockets star James Harden might have had his talent stripped by the Monstars — and that’s probably a theory ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith would believe. Harden picked a bad time for one of the worst games of his career, as he was a no-show in the Rockets’ season-ending Game 6 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The banged-up Spurs annihilated the Rockets 114-75, while Harden scored just 10 points on 2-of-11 shooting with six turnovers before eventually fouling out. Smith, in an appearance late Thursday night on “SportsCenter,” struggled to find an answer for Harden’s performance. He joked (at least we think he’s joking) that
Rockets Troll Russell Westbrook With Tweet Degrading His Triple Doubles
Share this: The Houston Rockets don’t appear to be impressed with Russell Westbrook’s triple-double averages. The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard is on pace to become the first player since Oscar Robertson in 1961-62 to average a triple-double for a full season. Westbrook’s incredible performances have put him in the thick of the NBA MVP race, but he still has plenty of competition for the award. Rockets guard James Harden is having his own MVP-caliber season, and after he led Houston to a 137-125 win over Westbrook’s Thunder on Sunday, his team sent out this tweet trolling the OKC star. Westbrook (39 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists) outplayed Harden (22 points, five rebounds, 12 assists), but the Rockets shot 63.3 percent from the field to pick
Draymond Green Reverts To His Old Ways, Kicks James Harden In The Face
Share this: Draymond Green is at it again. In double overtime of Thursday night’s matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, Green went up for a layup, and on his way down his foot just so happened to find James Harden’s face. Green was penalized with a flagrant one foul, and to add insult to injury, the Warriors lost 132-127. Dirty plays aren’t exactly new for Green. Fans remember his now-infamous kick to Steven Adams’ groin in the 2016 playoffs, as well as his shoving match with LeBron James, which earned him a suspension for Game 5 of last season’s NBA Finals. In fact, Green’s kick of Harden may have been his way of making up for a missed opportunity. In Game 4 of the Warriors’ first-round matchup
