In a new podcast episode of “The Lowe Post,” ESPN’s Zach Lowe and Tim MacMahon break down everything related to the Houston Rockets and a potential James Harden pursuit in 2023 free agency.
The episode was taped Tuesday afternoon, two days after a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski rocked the NBA by suggesting Harden could be headed back to Houston next summer.
While both Lowe and MacMahon said they personally wouldn’t pursue Harden, if they were the Rockets, they also acknowledge the team may decide differently and explored the potential reasons.
The ESPN duo also dropped a few interesting tidbits related to other options for the Rockets in the 2023 offseason, including Brooklyn guard Kyrie Irving and Indiana big man Myles Turner. See below for select excerpts, and listen to the complete discussion below (the Houston portion of the podcast starts at the 21:15 mark).
