Podcast: What can Rockets learn from the Astros’ dynasty?

In the aftermath of another World Series title for the Astros, Tuesday’s The Lager Line explores what lessons Houston’s basketball franchise should take from its baseball peers, particularly when it comes to team building.

The remainder of the show, sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, features storylines from Monday’s win by the Rockets in Orlando.

Led by hosts Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves, topics include:

·Jabari Smith Jr.’s early struggles as a rookie, relative to Paolo Banchero;

·What Eric Gordon’s ideal role should be;

·Strategies to find more minutes for Tari Eason;

·When a KJ Martin contract extension could make sense;

·Kevin Porter Jr.’s improvement as a playmaker and what his long-term role looks like;

·An evaluation of Alperen Sengun (great) and Jalen Green (mixed) in their second seasons, and what Green should do to build off of Monday’s elite performance in Orlando.
