Podcast: Exploring Houston’s free agency targets beyond James Harden

In Wednesday’s “Locked On Rockets” podcast, credentialed media members Jackson Gatlin and Ben DuBose offer their immediate reaction and key takeaways pertaining to the latest NBA rumors surrounding Houston’s 2023 free agency plans and potential targets.

If a long-rumored James Harden reunion doesn’t happen, is Toronto’s Fred VanVleet a reasonable backup plan? What about Milwaukee big man Brook Lopez, or Memphis wing Dillon Brooks? All have been rumored in recent days as potential options for the Rockets.

Finally, with new reports suggesting Harden is torn between the Rockets and returning to his current team, the Philadelphia 76ers, does that mean momentum is finally trending away from Houston? Gatlin and DuBose argue that it might be related to finances, with Harden perhaps not receiving his desired contract offers.

Wednesday’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 on YouTube (see embed below).
