The Ringer’s Bill Simmons is among several NBA media personalities who recently listed Houston as a potential trade suitor for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo — should he and the struggling Bucks (3-8) eventually decide to part ways.
So, with Antetokounmpo turning 30 years old next month, is that type of blockbuster trade worth it for the Rockets? Wednesday’s podcast episode of The Lager Line, sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, explores various scenarios where it would and wouldn’t make sense.
Hosted by Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves, the show also breaks down how the 2024-25 Rockets (7-4) have shown clear on-court improvement with six wins in their last eight games. Individual standouts under the microscope include Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, and Tari Eason.
