Aaron MiLK

@BinkleyHoops While having good defense. Rockets don’t have that many two way players

OKC has so many players who can put the ball in the basket

@BinkleyHoops KD played too many minutes in regular season…

KD practice no problem, Wednesday, and bangs knees in the last practice of the week on Thursday. Can't make this up. Rockets will have to adjust on the fly.

@UnderdogNBA Any news regarding Adams?

Lineup alert: Rockets will start Thompson, Eason, Durant, Smith Jr., Sengun on Saturday.

@BinkleyHoops Reed had 5 steals yesterday

Reed is more comfortable every game and this is just the beginning.

@danielle_lerner Does this mean they will all sign veteran minimum contracts? Thanks

The Rockets expect to bring back Jeff Green, Aaron Holiday and Jae'Sean Tate, I've confirmed. Holiday's team option is being declined and new contract negotiated. The Rockets still expect to have access to the full MLE in free agency, per source. More: houstonchronicle.com/sports/rockets…

@SportsVanessa Let’s go Reed!

@danielle_lerner Reed Sheppard is a rising star too (RGV)!

To no one’s surprise, Amen Thompson is a Rising Star.

@fyrebear @clutchfans Reed Sheppard is in the pool as well!

#Rockets Amen Thompson on the Rising Stars Sophomore team.

@clutchfans Literally

@HoustonRockets Jeff Green went shopping?

Denver, CO 📍

@BobbyMarks42 Why do teams exchange second round picks (three from Suns and one from Hornets) instead of just sending two second round picks?

Trade impact in Phoenix/Charlotte Phoenix 🏀Nick Richards: $5M and $5M ($0 GTY) 💰Tax bill: $184.2M to $164.3M ($20M savings) 💰Trade Exception: $3.2M (allowed to use despite over the second apron) 🏀Seconds available: 1 Charlotte 🏀Josh Okogie: $8.25M and $7.75M ($0 GTY) 🏀Seconds: 3 The Hornets have acquired 10 draft picks since last January: 2 firsts and 8 seconds.

@danielle_lerner Is there an expected timeline for Eason’s return?

Rockets forward Tari Eason is out again. Ime Udoka said he isn’t concerned that Eason’s injury will wind up like last year (season-ending). Imaging on Eason’s leg three weeks ago didn’t show anything similar, and Udoka said there’s no plan currently to have more imaging done.

@JTGatlin @LockedOnRockets Who is the 8th guy ?

Asked Ime Udoka about Cam Whitmore's growth and his minutes moving forward: "His recognition and defensive focus has improved. Everybody knows he can score the ball. I think he's played well enough. We'll figure out who the ninth, tenth guys are as we go."

@Jonathan_Feigen @HoustonChron Happy retirement Jonathan! I have been following your coverage since Yao era in 2001, and follow your updates before each game! Thank you and best of luck!

@Jonathan_Feigen Was Brooks in the practice today?

One injury/status update before Rockets-Thunder: Rockets F Dillon Brooks is questionable with an illness.

@Jonathan_Feigen Is it because Vipers have a break without game scheduled?

Rockets recall Cam Whitmore, N'Faly Dante and Nate Williams from the RGV Vipers of the G League.

@Jonathan_Feigen Why do Rockets offense choke so often?

Following up on this. Tomorrow makes 10 games for the Rockets. Any questions?

Going to start working on the next Rockets Insider newsletter today, to arrive in mailboxes Monday morning. So, if you have questions, please send this way or to Jonathan.Feigen@HoustonChronicle.com. Thanks as always.

@Jonathan_Feigen How is Jock Landale status?

Rockets center Steven Adams, who sat out Saturday's game against the Warriors, is questionable to play on Monday against the Knicks because of the ongoing right knee injury recovery. Adams played in two games, wins against the Spurs and Mavericks, this season.

@Jonathan_Feigen Does Rockets have a offensive coordinator coach?

Rockets terrible first half vs. Spurs left many questions, so ask some, or any other you would like answered in the Inside Rockets newsletter that will go out tomorrow. Ask here or send to me at Jonathan.Feigen@HoustonChronicle.com
