After declining to re-sign outgoing Stephen Silas, the Houston Rockets will interview scandalized former Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka for their vacancy. Udoka is one of many candidates for the 22-60 Rockets, who are still rebuilding around shooting guard Jalen Green, center Alperen Sengun, and power forward Jabari Smith Jr. Victor Wembanyama, a 7-foot-4 French phenom, has a 14-percent chance of winning the NBA Draft lottery and landing prize.

According to a statement by the Brooklyn Nets, former MVP Kevin Durant will not be traded and instead will continue to work together. 'Steve Nash and I, along with [owners] Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai, met with Kevin Durant and [his agent] Rich Kleiman in Los Angeles yesterday,' Nets general manager Sean Marks said. We have decided to continue our discussions.' We're focusing on basketball, with one particular aim in mind: to bring a championship to Brooklyn.' Durant's name appears to have put an end to trade rumors surrounding him since the Nets were swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs this spring.

Kevin Durant and the Nets are trapped on a trade stalemate over a trade pact, but one unidentified NBA executive believes the former league MVP is more likely to retire than play for Brooklyn again. Durant, a long-time NBA insider, was told by the 'well connected' team exec in early July that he would rather retire than play again for the Brooklyn Nets.' Durant reiterated his trade requests to team owner Joseph Tsai in London two weeks ago, prompting a written report on Monday. Durant said he would stay if Tsai were able to fire head coach and former NBA star Steve Nash as well as general manager Sean Marks as Shams Charania reported at the time. Tsai has since issued a public statement expressing his support for both Nash and Marks. The team's analysts and Durant's publicists were unable to respond immediately to DailyMail.com's email requests for comment.

Kevin Durant has reportedly reiterated that request to team owner Joe Tsai after first asking for a trade from the Nets: head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks were jettisoned instead. Durant last met with Tsai on Saturday in London and told the billionaire that he has no interest in the team's direction. Shams Charania's Shams Charania has reported that Durant recently spoke with Tsai and told the billionaire that he had no confidence in the team's direction. Durant's dissatisfaction are unclear, at least publicly, but Charania claims that the Nets have 'direct knowledge' of the specifics. The team's spokespeople were not able to respond right away to DailyMail.com's request for clarification. The Boston Celtics had reportedly traded All-Star Jaylen Brown in exchange for Brooklyn's disgruntled superstar forward Durant's Nets in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last season. Durant's deal now has $198 million and four years on it, while Brown has two seasons and $56 million on his. Durant's future in Brooklyn has been complicated by circumstances surrounding his former Nets teammate, Kyrie Irving, who decided to return to the team for the final year and $37 million, but is now advocating for his own departure.
