No draft picks. Very few trade assets. Totally capped out. Yet the Houston Rockets have once again made themselves a big story this offseason.
Resident capologist and devout Rockets fan David Weiner (Twitter | ClutchFans) joins us on the podcast to discuss all the craziness going on right now. We discuss:
The wild reports of James Harden-Chris Paul beefing and Paul demanding a trade.
The Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers.
The Mike D’Antoni extension (or lack thereof).
The draft and the Rockets’ focus on established players.
Jimmy Butler, his option and why a sign-and-trade is extremely unlikely
Potential destinations for Clint Capela and Eric Gordon (if they are even traded).
Free agency and possibly overlooked additions.
The importance of using the taxpayer MLE wisely given who they may lose
Is Iman Shumpert on a sign-and-trade a secret key for the Rockets?
