@Khris22m and @Jrue_Holiday11 spoke about winning the NBA title and Olympic gold in the same summer during our #NBAMediaDay @TwitterSpaces chat!
Silas says it’s great having John Wall out with the team, being able to pull him to the side, talk about what’s going on and him being able to help the young players out.
Coach Silas was pleased with the conditioning on Day 1 of training camp but urges “tip top shape” for the style of play the #Rockets want to represent this season.

Center Alperen Sengun is not at Rockets practice because he’s not feeling well. (Not COVID)
😂 @pconnaughton described transporting the 🏆 around with him during yesterday's #NBAMediaDay @TwitterSpaces convo!
Kevin Porter Jr. was already the most compelling Rockets storyline to me in the weeks leading up to Media Day. After yesterday, there’s a part of me now openly rooting for him to win Most Improved Player this season.
Some other takeaways from Media Day including some real introspective moments from both Danuel House and Kevin Porter Jr. https://t.co/q2cHxv9C23
Rafael Stone: “Part of our conversations this summer was making sure that everybody ends up in as good of a place as they possibly can without people having to make sacrifices that they can’t make.”

RT @KellyIkoNBA: “This organization saved my life potentially.”
Those words uttered from Kevin Porter Jr on Monday showed the side of a rebuild that’s not always talked about.

Truly hope LeBron can convince other players (and people in general) to get vaccinated. He doesn't need to strong-arm anyone. Just set a vocal example.
LeBron James said he decided to get vaccinated
People (rightfully) sing the praises of the Spurs for developing so many good GMs & front office folks around the league. But the #Rockets have their own "front office tree":
Daryl Morey
Sam Hinkie
Gersson Rosas
Monte McNair
Arturas Karnisovas
Sachin Gupta
Rafael Stone
Eli Witus

IMO, AD's acceptance of a full-time move to center is bigger than any free agent acquisition in the entire league. It's absolutely HUGE for the Lakers' title prospects this season.
Anthony Davis, at Lakers Media Day, acknowledges that he expects to play center this season.
