With the NBA's 2025 summer league in the books and the Rockets giving what will likely be their final standard contract to defensive wing Josh Okogie, Houston appears set to enter the 2025-26 season with Fred VanVleet, Amen Thompson, and Reed Sheppard as its primary ball-handlers and play initiators among rotation players.After a brief but underwhelming stint in Las Vegas, Tuesday's show explores whether Sheppard is up for the point-guard task, as well as whether Thompson is ready to take on the type of on-ball responsibility that Jalen Green often did last season. The episode also breaks down how recent signings such as Okogie, JD Davison, and Isaiah Crawford could potentially fit into the equation as training camp nears.

Potacast'in sezon finalinde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu, franchise tarihinin ilk NBA şampiyonluğuna ulaşan Oklahoma City Thunder'ın bu tarihi başarısını ve kıyasıya rekabet içinde geçerek yedinci maça uzayan Indiana Pacers final serisini değerlendiriyor. Uzun yıllar akıllardan çıkmayacak bu maçta Tyrese Haliburton'ın mücadelenin hemen başında sakatlanarak maça devam edememesi, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander'ın MVP ve Finaller MVP'si seçilmesi, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Hartenstein ve Jalen Williams ile birlikte baştan sonra harika bir maç geçiren Thunder'ın hanedanlık kurma ihtimali gibi konular değerlendiriliyor. Özellikle Tyrese Haliburton'un sakatlanarak maça devam edememesinin Indiana Pacers açısından her şeyi değiştirmesi, Pascal Siakam ve TJ McConnell gibi isimlerin sahanın her yerinde doğru oyunu oynayan Thunder karşısında elinden geleni yapması gibi konuların mercek altına alınmasından sonra sakatlıklar ekseninde Doğu Konferansı'nın Batı Konferansı ile arasındaki kalite farkının önümüzdeki sezon daha fazla hissedilip hissedilemeyeceği üzerinde yoğunlaşılıyor. Şampiyonluğun konuşulmasının ardından gerçekleşen takaslar ve gündemin diğer öne çıkan başlıklarına değinilerek sohbet devam ediyor. Orlando Magic'in Desmond Bane hamlesinin Magic için ne kadar doğru olduğu, Memphis Grizzlies'in Ja Morant'ten çıkamayacak durumda olması ile Morant'in yeteneklerinin sakatlıklar dolayısıyla erozyona uğramasının Memphis için etkileri ile başlayan sohbet, Houston Rockets'ın kadrosuna Kevin Durant'i katmasıyla devam ediyor. Rockets'ın, Durant için takasta verdiklerinin ne kadar akıllıca olduğu, Durant'in, Amen Thompson ve Alperen Şengün'ün takımda kalmasıyla hücum yönünde Rockets'a neler katabileceği gibi konular konuşulurken diğer yandan Phoenix Suns'ın son iki senedir kadro mühendisliği ve organizasyon içinde yaşanan problemler dolayısıyla deyim yerindeyse bir bataklığın içine sürüklenmesinin olası etkileri inceleniyor. Programın kapanışında Los Angeles Lakers'ın tarihin en pahalıya satılan spor kulübü olması konuşuluyor. Lakers'ın NBA bünyesindeki en değerli takımlardan biri olmasına rağmen kulübün eski sahiplerinin Lakers organizasyonunu yönetirken başarısız olduğu konuların yeni yönetimle ortadan kalkma ihtimalinin gelecekte ne gibi etkileri olabileceği üzerinde varsayımlarda bulunuluyor.

Jason also talks about the growing expectations for the Cubs and why the team needs to let PCA be PCA. Later, Jason breaks down the NBA playoffs, including two underwhelming Game 7s, why Amen Thompson was the most impactful player on the floor, and why the Rockets needed more from Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun. To wrap, Jason gives his thoughts on another non-update on the Bears stadium front.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.comRogue Bogues podcasters (and former NBA professionals) Andrew Bogut and Mike Procopio are here for the playoffs! We start with the elevated physicality of Warriors-Rockets and whether Amen Thompson is at fault for Jimmy Butler's injury. From there, we're looking back on situations as wide ranging as when Draymond Green kicked Steven Adams in the nuts in 2016, all the way to whether the Warriors tried to trade Steph Curry for our humble podcast guest (not Procoprio) in 2012. Topics include but aren't limited to…* Who's at fault for Jimmy Butler getting injured?* Did Ime Udoka make a mistake by using his move of putting Alperen Şengün on Moses Moody two weeks before the season ended?* Does Bogut think that Draymond Green really tried to kick Steven Adams in the balls back in the 2016 WCF?* What's up with Steve Kerr scolding the Houston crowd for chanting “Fuck Draymond”?* Was Evan Mobley the right choice for DPOY?* We are not fans of how Jonathan Kuminga's been playing* Our theories on why the Mavericks did their disastrous Luka Dončić trade* Would Pro take a bunch of money to do the Luka trade if ownership demanded * How Andrew feels about Mavericks president Rick Welts bringing up his name when trying to justify the infamous trade* Andrew swears that the Milwaukee Bucks had the option of taking Steph Curry instead of Monta Ellis in that 2012 trade* Will Andrew ever coach an NBA team?
