raj and vinay discuss the Bane to Magic trade and Steven Adams re-signing with the Rockets along with a bunch of other topics

The Astros are on fire — clutch when it counts, building separation, and now boasting the third-best record in the league. Is this the power of culture, or is something else driving it?

QOTD: Are there certain names that tell you all you need to know about a person — or even trigger you a little? Plus: Tyreek Hill keeps burning defenders, new OROY/DROY odds drop, and the Rockets re-sign Steven Adams amid KD trade chatter.

When the 2025 NBA Finals conclude in a few days, teams across the league will be able to exclusively negotiate with their own pending free agents.

The Rockets could complete their roster by keeping Steven Adams and trading either Reed Sheppard or the 10th overall pick for a smaller move.

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?

One of the latest stories coming from the Phoenix Suns after they let go of coach Mike Budenhozler, came from Chris Haynes, who is reporting that Bol Bol lost his rotation spot when he refused to get in the middle of a scuffle between Mason Plumlee and Steven Adams when the Suns took on the Houston Rockets. Bol was seen shooting layups during the altercation, and apparently Bud was so mad, he cut him from the rotation entirely for the rest of the season. Did he get screwed over? Should the fan favorite get another shot next season? Would he want to come back on a veteran-minimum contract? Erik Ruby and Stephen PridGeon-Garner dive into it on a mini-podcast!  

In hour three, Tkachuk's official status for Game 1 tomorrow isn't concerning Hoch or Crowder. Should Coach Spo be playing the younger players vs Cleveland? Steven Adams vs a Grizzly Bear. Plus, our friend Mike Cugno of CBS4 joins the show to talk about the Heat Game 1 loss and his take on what the Dolphins will do on Thursday with the 13th overall pick.

The Phoenix Suns have A LOT to figure out this summer. After missing the play-in with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, along with the highest payroll in NBA history, they not only have to replace recently fired coach Mike Budenholzer, they are also largely expected to make a change in the front office, after the failures of James Jones and Josh Bartelstein. With the KD trade looming, Bradley Beal's contract and no-trade clause intact, and a fanbase turned off by the lack of success following championship aspirations, and promises, is this the most important moment in franchise history? Stephen, Gerald and Erik break it down while also discussing the Chris Haynes report on Bol Bol losing his rotation spot because he shot around while Mason Plumlee and Steven Adams started a brawl in a game against the Houston Rockets earlier in the season, Marc Stein's latest reporting on Phoenix's search for a replacement at coach and relive the greatest moments in playoff history for a franchise who should be making more of those memories as they speak. Is this really the most important moment ever? Could a new coach actually convince Kevin Durant to stay in purple and orange, despite the fractured relationship over a blindside trade offer to the Golden State Warriors at the deadline that would have landed Jimmy Butler alongside Devin Booker? PHNX Suns unpacks it all on another episode!
