With the NBA Finals complete, the league’s rumor mill regarding player transactions should start to pick up steam as the 2023 offseason begins. That’s especially the case in Houston, where the Rockets have more than $60 million in expected salary cap flexibility along with two first-round draft picks.
So, as general manager Rafael Stone approaches 2023 free agency, who should he consider bringing in— and why? In the latest episode of The Lager Line, Rockets podcasters Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves explore many of the key names and considerations at play, starting with Philadelphia’s James Harden and moving on through various options for guard, wing, and big-man roles.
Other topics include possibilities that might come available on the trade market, such as a longshot pursuit of Pelicans star Zion Williamson.
Wednesday’s podcast, which is sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, can be listened to below. Each episode is also made available via flagship radio station SportsTalk 790 and all major podcast distributors under “The Lager Line.”
