Podcast: How the NBA’s new labor deal could benefit the Rockets

What does the NBA’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement mean for Houston’s rebuild? #Rockets salary cap guru David Weiner (@BimaThug) makes his case for why it should help.

With the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) on the way, what does that mean for the Houston Rockets, who have approximately $60 million in salary cap space this offseason?

David Weiner, salary cap expert and renowned Rockets blogger, offers his insight on a new episode of “The Lager Line” podcast. As part of a conversation with Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves, Weiner makes his case for why the new CBA should benefit a franchise such as the Rockets, given their market size and projected spending.

Other topics include how the CBA could influence team-building strategies throughout the league; what the implementation timeline is likely to be; and perspective on the recent Ime Udoka hire by the Rockets, along with its potential ramifications this offseason.

Friday’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.”
