Michael A. Scotto, national NBA writer for HoopsHype, joined Thursday’s The Lager Line podcast to discuss the latest offseason rumors surrounding the Houston Rockets.
Is general manager Rafael Stone increasingly set on selecting Amen Thompson at No. 4 overall in the 2023 draft? In a conversation with Rockets podcasters Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves, Scotto offers fresh insight on that and other draft considerations, including trade possibilities to move up or down in the first-round order and for a veteran player from another team.
The interview then switches gears to free agency, with topics ranging from Houston’s long-rumored pursuit of James Harden to whether restricted free agents such as Brooklyn’s Cam Johnson and Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers are potentially attainable.
Thursday’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.”
