The NBA trade deadline (Feb 6) hasn't even arrived yet and the league is already turned upside down! Luka Doncic is heading to the Los Angeles Lakers in a stunning blockbuster move, sending Anthony Davis to the Mavericks. Following that stunner, the San Antonio Spurs landed De'Aaron Fox in another seismic trade. What does this mean for the Western Conference and the Houston Rockets? Join Dave Hardisty and David Weiner on this episode of the ClutchFans Podcast as they break down:

It's officially NBA Draft Week! Dave Hardisty and David Weiner discuss the options before the Houston Rockets as they approach the June 26th NBA Draft, holding the #3 pick and the #44 pick. Is it really down to Donovan Clingan and Reed Sheppard as options? The pair also discuss trade-down options and whether Devin Carter could be intriguing to Ime Udoka. And are the Rockets a darkhorse for a Paul George trade?

Dave Hardisty and David Weiner dive into the Houston Rockets' options with the #3 pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, discussing the possible selections of Reed Sheppard, Donovan Clingan, Stephon Castle, Zaccharie Risacher, Matas Buzelis, Ron Holland and more.

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.
