As the calendar turns to 2023, it’s a pivotal year for the Houston Rockets. They have lots of salary cap room for roster upgrades, and the incentive to lose games for better draft positioning goes away after the 2022-23 season due to future pick obligations to Oklahoma City.
With that in mind, Thursday’s episode of “The Lager Line” (sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing) explores the franchise’s looming transition, including the various high and low points of another rebuilding year in 2022 and some early ambitions for 2023.
Hosted by Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves, today’s show also features reaction to James Harden’s potential interest in rejoining the Rockets in 2023, as well as analysis of recent improvements made by Kevin Porter Jr. and Tari Eason. Tune in!
