Obviously, the Houston Rockets are in the news for not-so-fun reasons.
Generally speaking, a tanking team wants to keep quiet and lose its games in peace. They unload desirable players at the trade deadline and get excited for the lottery and draft. That’s how it works.
So it’s a bad sign that Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania were tweeting about a 10-27 team on Saturday night. Christian Wood and Kevin Porter Jr. have made the situation about themselves. John Lucas is well-respected around the league, and not being able to take constructive criticism from Lucas is a bad sign about your attitude.
