The Utah Jazz are planning to sign former first round pick Josh Christopher to a two-way deal, League Sources tell myself and @ShamsCharania Josh’s older brother Patrick played one game for the Jazz in 2016. Josh played two seasons for the Houston Rockets – 7:24 PM

The Utah Jazz are planning to sign former Rockets first-round pick Josh Christopher to a two-way NBA deal, sources me and @Tjonesonthenba. The guard averaged seven points and 15.4 minutes across two seasons in Houston. His brother, Patrick, played one game for Utah in 2016. – 7:21 PM

Watching this Pelicans-Magic game from a couple of nights ago, the Zion at the 5 lineups were hilariously unstoppable. My god. – 7:10 PM

Rockets’ Dillon Brooks fined $25,000 for ‘reckless’ hit to Daniel Theis’ groin. The first game checks of the season haven’t even dropped and Brooks owes the league.

Interesting how the Rockets have the pregame warmups scheduled in pairs (after the camp and G League guys.) This season’s first round picks, followed by last season’s first round picks, followed by Greens. (Others might have been between but I stepped away.) – 6:40 PM

Same starters for Rockets vs. Pelicans tonight: VanVleet, Green, Brooks, Smith Jr., Sengun. Jeff Green to get playing time after sitting out Tuesday. Jock Landale did not make the trip (ankle injury maintenance.) – 6:35 PM

Talked a bit about the Rockets today with @KellyIko, and why I’m bullish on them making a big leap in terms of wins this season.
They’ve replaced a ton of extremely young, ineffective minutes with legitimate, above-average players. That’s a big jump!

Knew the Rockets would get the full Dillon Brooks experience.
Didn’t expect that to start on Game 1 of the preseason. 🙃 – 5:37 PM

It may have been only a 24-minute preseason sample size against the Orlando Magic, but it might be time to get excited about the tweaked New Orleans Pelicans offense.
