With Houston’s 2020-21 season less than two weeks from its conclusion, Monday’s edition of the RocketsWire Extra podcast covers the team’s upcoming offseason and broader rebuilding efforts.
The Rockets (16-49) have the NBA’s worst record, which should maximize their odds of landing a top prospect via the 2021 draft lottery.
Hosted by RocketsWire Editor Ben DuBose, topics discussed on Monday’s 35-minute episode include:
- The potential timetable of Houston’s rebuilding efforts
- How the NBA’s recent changes in player movement trends and draft lottery percentages may influence the thinking of Rockets general manager Rafael Stone
- What the new NBA rebuilding model looks like, and how a high lottery pick, Kevin Porter Jr., and Christian Wood could increase Houston’s desirability to current star players
- Why the Rockets fell off so quickly in 2020-21, going from a title contender to the league’s worst team
- Reasons to keep an open mind with regards to the futures of Stone and Houston owner Tilman Fertitta
