Sunday night’s episode of Locked on Rockets features a broad discussion of recent trade rumors involving James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
Featuring Houston sports media personalities Jackson Gatlin and Ben DuBose, topics discussed on the new podcast include:
— Factors leading to Harden’s reportedly wavering commitment to the Rockets;
— Under what circumstances Harden and/or Westbrook trades would make sense, and what Houston should look for in exchange for either of the former MVPs;
— Why “running it back” with both All-Star guards could be an increasingly viable scenario for the 2020-21 season;
— How Harden potentially reuniting with former GM Daryl Morey in Philadelphia should be seen by Houston fans;
— The potential impact and significance of Houston’s recent assistant coaching hires (Jeff Hornacek, Will Weaver, Rick Higgins) on the 2020-21 outlook.
Resolution on many of these issues could come soon, with the NBA’s trade moratorium ending Monday and free agency opening Friday.
