Doc Rivers is out as head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Nick Nurse is in following a successful run leading the Toronto Raptors. So, what does that potentially mean for the Houston Rockets and their long-rumored offseason pursuit of James Harden?
In the latest “Locked on Rockets” podcast, credentialed media members Jackson Gatlin and Ben DuBose explore key takeaways from a Houston perspective. As part of the discussion, they explain why the arrival of Nurse — as opposed to, say, former Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni, who was also a candidate after working well with Harden in Houston — certainly can’t hurt the odds of a reunion.
Beyond Harden topics, the show explores reports linking the Rockets to Amen Thompson in the 2023 NBA draft, along with insight on why it makes sense for Houston to acknowledge that interest.
Today’s “Locked on Rockets” episode can be listened to via Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher and nearly all major podcast distributors. It can also be watched in its entirety on YouTube below.
