Steven Adams Rumors

Looney, who signed a two-year free-agent contract with the New Orleans Pelicans last week, joined Marcus Thompson II on the "Warriors Plus/Minus" podcast and shared how he felt a bit slighted by some of Warriors coach Steve Kerr's rotation decisions, including the choice to play then-rookie Quinten Post over him, particularly in the playoffs. "I guess," Looney said when Thompson II asked him if Post was the final straw for him. "I wouldn't say it like that, but it was anybody but me it seemed like at this point. It wasn't no one moment. Even this year, probably the playoffs. We going up against Steven Adams. This is what I do. They're not really giving me the chance to really let me do what I do. "It's like, 'All right, y'all don't trust me? I thought y'all trusted me.' They put me at the end in Game 7, it's like why'd we have to wait for that point?"

Yossi Gozlan: Steven Adams has never been a free agent in his career and is set to continue that streak through his 15th season. He has now signed an extension with each team he’s been a part of and will have accumulated $210 million in career earnings. One of the great examples of risk aversion paying off.

Sources say that Houston, furthermore, would once again have interest in signing Lopez if the Rockets are unable to retain Steven Adams.

As the Rockets brass continue to maneuver through offseason mode — conducting draft workouts, tying up loose ends with exit interviews and prepping for a pivotal summer — they’ll need to address several key potential free agents on the roster. Veterans Steven Adams, Jeff Green and Jae’Sean Tate will be unrestricted free agents as of June 30 — but of the trio, Adams is seen as the clear priority, team sources told The Athletic.

Logan Murdock: I know that there was a deal in place to send Draymond to Memphis, and the return on that would have been interesting. It’s so interesting that Steven Adams was the catalyst to almost beating them in the first round—because in that trade, Steven Adams would have come back to Golden State. Along with Dillon Brooks—I heard that as well—Tyus Jones, and a couple other people. But the reason why that deal fell through is because Tyus Jones got rerouted to Washington, and it no longer made the deal work. That’s something they wanted—they really wanted a backup point guard.

Mitchell Robinson and Steven Adams lead the playoffs in fgOR% (the percentage of their team’s missed field goals that they personally rebounded), with 7-foot-4 rookie Zach Edey ranking fourth. All three are clear signs of the return of the big, physical, pound-the-glass center — a player type that looked nearly extinct at the height of the 5-out, spread-the-floor era.

The Rockets have been firm that rising star Amen Thompson is off-limits in any potential trade discussions. As far as a big man goes, the Rockets are interested in re-signing Steven Adams after he performed well while his minutes were carefully managed during the regular season and was a major reason Houston extended its first-round series against the Warriors to seven games.
