The Rockets have previously held serious interest in the Suns’ Devin Booker, but team sources said that is no longer the case. Not only do team officials still have faith in Jalen Green, who is five years younger than Booker and $66 million cheaper over the next three seasons, but also Booker’s struggles last season shifted the thinking on this front.

Wrote my first review for Book World on “Play Harder,” a vital & gripping project that puts the 160-year history of Black baseball within the context of the Black struggle for freedom and equality in America. It arrives at a pivotal & complicated moment. wapo.st/456zfC5 – 6:17 AM

When you study film, who are the players you try to emulate? Cayden Boozer: Jamal Murray, Shai, Jalen Brunson, Devin Booker – just the best guards. I’m just trying to steal from everyone, even Jrue Holiday, a really good defender. Just trying to steal from everyone a little bit, but be the best version of myself. At the end of the day, I wanna be the first Cayden Boozer, not the upcoming of somebody else. So just trying to steal from all the greats. -via HoopsHype / May 7, 2025
The likes of Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Zion Williamson, and Devin Booker will be linked in the rumor mill in the coming weeks, all with different pros and cons depending on Houston’s direction. Team sources say the Rockets will monitor the market closely and will hold internal discussions about potential fits and offers. -via New York Times / May 5, 2025

Later in the quarter, Jalen Green made a move past Moses Moody, but Kevon Looney was there at the rim to block his shot. “We did a good job on him to start the series and I think that rattled his confidence a little bit,” said Draymond Green, who finished with 16 points, six rebounds, two blocks and a technical foul. “This isn’t something he’s been apart of before. He’s good young player. He’ll learn from his mistakes, but you’ve got to give the guys credit who were guarding him…. Anybody who was on him, he was a focal point. “We know what they are capable of when he’s scoring and so we really wanted to take him out of this series.” -via Houston Chronicle / May 5, 2025
