Houston Rockets

Amen Thompson and the Rockets have agreed to a five-year, $208 million extension carrying a 10% trade kicker, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal begins once Thompson completes the final year of his rookie contract at roughly $12.3 million, running through the 2031/32 season.

The Stockton Kings acquired the returning G League rights to guard Tristen Newton and forward Teddy Allen in a three-team deal with Delaware and Iowa, according to Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee.

A hypothetical four-team trade floated by Heavy would send Bronny James from the Lakers to the Sixers, reuniting him with his father's old team.

Brian Windhorst said on The Hoop Collective that Victor Wembanyama is the only player from the 2023 draft to have signed a rookie-scale extension, and that talks elsewhere have gone nowhere.

A trade idea has Houston sending Kevin Durant and Clint Capela to Philadelphia for Joel Embiid plus second-round picks in 2027 and 2032.

A hypothetical four-team deal has the Lakers landing Josh Hart and a 2031 second-rounder while the Knicks take PJ Washington and two second-round picks. Dallas would collect Jaden Hardy, Jake LaRavia and a 2033 first, with Dalton Knecht going to Houston.

Golden State topped ESPN's summer forecast on which team is most likely to make a major move, drawing nine panelist points ahead of Detroit's four, with Boston and Houston on three each.

Houston has cut guard Tristen Newton, according to NBA.com's transaction log. Newton signed a two-way deal in January and played a single NBA game for the Rockets, scoring 12 against Memphis on April 12.

With Jonathan Kuminga off to Minnesota, a proposed three-team deal would bring Atlanta big man Mo Gueye to Los Angeles alongside a 2031 second-rounder, ship Dalton Knecht and his $4.2 million to Houston, and send the Hawks two Lakers second-round picks acquired in the Deandre Ayton deal.

Houston has signed big man Rafael Castro to a two-way contract and waived guard Tristen Newton in the corresponding move.
