Led by Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr., the rebuilding Rockets have become much more competitive during the month of March. It comes at a good time, too, since Houston will enter the 2023 offseason with lots of salary cap room and with a clear incentive to win next season.
Future Hall of Famers and four-time NBA champions Draymond Green and Klay Thompson of the Warriors are among those taking notice, with both complimenting Smith and fellow Rockets rookie Tari Eason after Golden State’s trip to Houston earlier this week.
So, how are the Rockets doing it? Friday’s episode breaks it all down. Hosts Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves evaluate Houston’s improved run of form, along with an early look at offseason options. Those possibilities include a potential contract extension for KJ Martin, and even making a trade bid for Boston star Jaylen Brown.
