ClutchFans Podcast Dave Hardisty

Dave Hardisty and David Weiner discuss the Houston Rockets trade with the Memphis Grizzlies for center Steven Adams, trade rumors involving Mikal Bridges, other NBA Trade deadline possibilities for the Rockets and the current state of the young prospects like Cam Whitmore, Amen Thompson, Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, Tari Eason and Jabari Smith Jr.

The Houston Rockets are back to being a professional NBA team once again.



The Rockets finally ended the Kevin Porter Jr. era on Tuesday, coughing up two second-round picks in order to unload his contract to the Oklahoma City Thunder, getting back the contract of Victor Oladipo and third-year forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. The move puts an end to a long investment and very rocky tenure with KPJ.



David Weiner joined Dave Hardisty on the ClutchFans podcast to discuss the Porter Jr. Experiment, the price paid to move him, Houston’s potential trade options moving forward, the new culture and the current state of the Rockets young core -- including Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., Jalen Green and Amen Thompson.

Dave Hardisty (@clutchfans) and David Weiner (@bimathug) discuss the 2022 NBA Draft and how the Houston Rockets came away with Jabari Smith Jr. (#3), Tari Eason (#17) and TyTy Washington (#29) -- what looks like another impressive haul for Rockets GM Rafael Stone.

They also discuss possible Eric Gordon trades and the state of the Rockets rebuild.
