Carmelo Anthony and the Houston Rockets

Clutch — {ts '2010-08-20 13:43:00'}

Putting Denver's star in a Houston uniform looks nice, but it may take some time -- The most worrisome part of this offseason was not the luxury tax leap that the Rockets made, but that Houston appeared to have lost its mojo with the stars of the league. The Rockets had all-in interest in Chris Bosh and even had a deal in place with the Raptors to snatch him, but Bosh wasn't feeling Houston. In the week that Chris Paul was rumored to be wanting out of New Orleans, Clutch City wasn't anywhere to be found on his reported list of desired de...

Houston Rockets Salary Cap Update

Clutch — {ts '2010-07-19 07:09:00'}

An Overview of Houston's New Deals and Their Impact On Next Summer -- Well, that happened a lot faster than I expected. After a 2008 restricted free agency "negotiation" with Carl Landry that lasted well into September, the Rockets have come to terms on new deals with both Kyle Lowry and Luis Scola before the second half of July. With the signing of Patrick Patterson to his rookie deal, and with the recently reported signing of Brad Miller, the Rockets are essentially "capped out", with only their Biannual Exception ($2.07 million), a min...

Interview with Daryl Morey

Clutch — {ts '2010-07-12 07:25:00'}

Rockets GM sits down with us to field questions from the ClutchFans community -- Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has been regarded as one of the most innovative and prominent GMs in the league since taking over the position in 2007. Morey has been a relentless worker over the past three years trying to take the Rockets from playoff contender to championship contender. Despite all of the success he has had during his tenure, Morey is still a very humble and down to earth person that wants to know what the average fan is thinking about the team. Morey was ge...

Rockets Summer League Recap - Day 2

Clutch — {ts '2010-07-11 09:19:00'}

-- The second game of the Rockets Summer League came against the interstate rival Dallas Mavericks. The biggest difference right away from the first game was the insertion of rookie Patrick Patterson over Maarty Leunen in the starting lineup. The coaching staff must have a lot of confidence in the young rookie to push him into the starting lineup so quickly. As I mentioned in the Day 1 recap, th...

Rockets Summer League Recap - Day 1

Clutch — {ts '2010-07-10 08:25:00'}

Rockets knock off the Suns 100-82 behind Patrick Patterson, Jermaine Taylor -- Rockets rookie Patrick Patterson (18 points) made his debut on Friday and he did not disappoint one bit. Granted many were able to see his performance via the internet or NBA TV but not everything is picked up by the video cameras. I had the fortunate opportunity to sit near courtside and see the "game within the game" for Patrick's debut.

It was a slight surprise that Patterson did not start, but coming into a new system, it was better for Patrick to come off the ben...

Sit Tight and Play the Hand

Why Not Pursuing Another Major Free Agent May Be the Best Avenue for the Houston Rockets -- Well, Daryl Morey and the Houston Rockets did their best to persuade Chris Bosh to join the organization. It was a valiant effort, but in the end, the allure of playing with Dwyane Wade and Lebron James was just too much for Bosh to resist. Alas, the Rockets shall go Bosh-less. What other free agents, then, should the Rockets pursue this summer? The answer: Probably no one. Not now. Not this summer. The Hand They'...

Houston is going all in on Chris Bosh, but they won't panic if it doesn't happen -- July 1st has come and gone and if there were any fans or media left that doubted that the Houston Rockets were going to pursue Chris Bosh, they have quietly hit the exits. The Rockets went public with their desire to bring Bosh to Houston, but those who check out ClutchFans have known it for months. Bosh has been Plan A, B and C for the Rockets for some time now. They feel his length, quickness, versatility and midrange ability "change the...

Rockets preparing for Chris Bosh pursuit

Clutch — {ts '2010-06-24 23:12:00'}

Source: Rockets have started filming a Houston recruiting video for Chris Bosh -- Despite plenty of reasons for Chris Bosh to join the Houston Rockets, the perception is growing among Houston fans that there is little to no chance that the Raptors free agent power forward will make Clutch City his home this offseason. The Rockets themselves? They aren't giving up that easy. We've been consistent the last two months that Houston is going to pursue Bosh, and the Rockets ha...
