Trevor Ariza and Tony Allen both pick Dwyane Wade over James Harden because Harden can’t sacrifice to win a championship: Ariza: “When we’re playing a team sport and a team aspect of the game — what D-Wade has done, you can’t argue with who you have to go with.

Jabari Smith Jr. on the Rockets’ sense of urgency in 2026-27: “We haven’t done anything. We have nothing to look back and be proud of.” “Everybody around the organization knows we’re better than what we put out in the playoffs. We’re just going to put our heads down and work.”
