Ime Udoka reportedly is already flexing his influence with his new team by putting the kibosh on the Rockets’ interest in James Harden.
by reporting to training camp late. The Rockets are loaded with talented but raw young players, so perhaps Udoka didn't view Harden as the veteran presence his team needed.
Udoka would know from experience: He worked with Harden for half of the 2020-21 season as a member of the Nets' coaching staff, and Harden missed 21 of the team's final 23 regular-season games before Brooklyn fell in the second round of the playoffs. If Udoka and the Rockets were keen on veteran leadership, that explains why they signed point guard Fred VanVleet to a three-year, $128.5 million maximum contract in free agency. While VanVleet can't touch Harden's scoring or passing ability, he has a championship on his resume and a chip on his shoulder after going from undrafted to All-Star.
Houston is expected to be a lottery team once again thanks to its inexperienced roster, but it appears Udoka has a clear vision for how he wants the Rockets to look under his watch.
