Houston (CEO) we have a problem!

Houston (CEO) we have a problem! This phrase right here is very true as the Rockets have a mess that they are trying to clean up and fix. Why would I say that? I would say that due to the fact that the Rocket’s CEO is resigning from Houston as he says it is time to step away.

Tad Brown has made his decision, but does that come to a shocking surprise? Not really as they have traded mainly pieces like Oladipo, Harden, Westbrook for other assets they’ve gotten in FA or in trades. Then in the front office department, many good names left the building. Like Morey, D’Antoni, and now Brown.

While they have a good head coach, a general manager, and getting pieces. They will now look to see what direction they are looking at and who they want to hire to give this team a push for a better season. Now, let us remember this: The Houston Rockets were once considered a playoff-contender, had all the right pieces, the right front-office… however, can we say that still? Probably not; could it be better? Yes and they are hoping to cash in on the draft, FA, and next season’s toll.

Here is what Tad Brown has said about his departure from Houston:

“It’s time to move on, and it’s time to take on other adventures that we’re looking forward to,” said Brown, who joined the Rockets organization as a vice president of corporate development in 2002 and was promoted to CEO in 2006 “It’s been the greatest honor of my professional life to lead this organization. It’s been the ride of a lifetime.”

Here is what the Rockets have a statement on this matter is:

“On behalf of the entire Rockets organization and my family, I want to thank Tad for his stellar and tireless service to the Houston Rockets franchise,” Fertitta said in a statement. “I could not have asked for a better leader to work with since becoming owner.”

With all that being said, you will be looking at a brand new team within the next few years. That will include a transformation over the front office, staffing, and even players. Leadership, talent, staffing, etc will change.

Tyrese Maxey Calls Out Joel Embiid For Being Late To Team Activities

With the Philadelphia 76ers starting the season 2-11, tensions and speculations of what is happening have been rising. Notably, Monday night, Tyrese Maxey and the team had an emergency meeting to discuss what’s wrong.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Joel Embiid was called out by Maxey. This is due to him not being a leader and not being able to show up on time to team activities.

“In the meeting, Maxey challenged Embiid to be on time to team activities, calling out the former league MVP about being late “for everything” and how it impacts the locker room, from other players to the coaching staff.” Shams Charania wrote on ESPN.

Kyle Lowry did call for this meeting to happen, and the biggest “elephant in the room” was Embiid. Embiid has been noticeably lacking since last season.

Beyond Embiid getting called out, Philadelphia’s players are demanding head coach Nick Nurse to push them harder. Coaches responded by wanting their players to pay more attention to detail and practice with a purpose.

Overall, the meeting was a positive one, which saw coaches and players share the blame for the way they began this season.

According to multiple reports, headlined by ESPN’s Shams Charania, De’Anthony Melton has suffered a sprained ACL.

This diagnosis was confirmed through an MRI, as this injury is in his left knee. For right now, there is no timeline for his return, but Melton has already been ruled out for Golden State’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Warriors have signed the 26-year-old to a one-year, $12.8 million deal in the offseason.

LeBron James Could Retire After Next Season

LeBron James Could Retire After Next Season

According to LeBron James himself, he isn’t going to play “until the wheels fall off.” Despite saying that, James never said when he would retire. That thought is still running through his head.

“I’m not gonna play that much longer, to be completely honest. I don’t know how many years that is, whether it’s 1 year, 2 years, whatever… I’m not playing til the wheels fall off.”

Now, this speculation has been intensified by ESPN’s Shams Charania. Per Charania, he believes LeBron will retire after next season. He cites it because that’s his $52.6 million player option season.

Over the past couple of contracts he has signed, LeBron has made it very flexible to where he’s in control of what happens. Whether that’s short-term deals or including a player option.

However, despite what Shams said, he does see a world where he does continue to play. He cites the NBA All-Star Weekend being held in Los Angeles in 2027, and his son, Bryce James, being able to play with his father as soon as the 2026-27 season.

While all of this is speculation, it would be interesting to see him have his farewell tour in 2027, playing with his two sons on the Lakers, hosting the All-Star Weekend, and having that year dedicated to him.
