In a newly released episode, Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves offer their final preview of Houston’s goals entering 2023 NBA free agency, which starts at 5 p.m. Central on Friday. The Rockets should have a league-leading figure of approximately $60 million in available space beneath the salary cap for the 2023-24 season.
Is Houston’s apparent pivot from a James Harden-led offseason the correct choice? And if any pursuit of a top target such as Fred VanVleet, Brook Lopez or Dillon Brooks fails, what should general manager Rafael Stone have in mind as a backup plan?
The free-agency themed show explores many contingencies, including potential trades KJ Martin, Jae’Sean Tate, Usman Garuba and Josh Christopher.
Wednesday’s podcast, which is sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, can be listened to below. Each episode of the show is also made available via flagship radio station SportsTalk 790 and all major podcast distributors under “The Lager Line.”
