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. With the Rockets, that includes names such as Fred VanVleet, Steven Adams, Jeff Green, Aaron Holiday, and Jae'Sean Tate.So, with Houston's payroll on the rise, what internal deals are likely to make basketball and business sense? Tuesday's podcast explores the parameters, including why new three-year contracts for VanVleet (around $90 to $100 million, in total) and Adams ($40 to $45 million, in total) could be the sweet spot for both the player and team.

Wednesday's episode features reaction and insight from our Ben DuBose to a handful of recent NBA rumors connected to the Rockets. Those include the New York Knicks' reported interest in Ime Udoka as head coach; a potential Kevin Durant trade with the Phoenix Suns perhaps getting closer; and free agent Brook Lopez becoming a potential backup plan for Houston, should Steven Adams choose to sign elsewhere.

The Rockets could complete their roster by keeping Steven Adams and trading either Reed Sheppard or the 10th overall pick for a smaller move. Some of the core guys on the Astros are struggling with less than a .700 OPS and the team looks completely different from years past. What Texans' player would be best in the Olympics? Should NFL superstars join and is it safe to do so?

Lamar Patterson joins the podcast to talk through the highs, lows, and wild turns of a pro career that's taken him from Pittsburgh to the NBA, NBL, China, Puerto Rico, and most recently, India. Patterson opens up about his time in India's pro league, his rollercoaster ride with the Brisbane Bullets, and why things unravelled during his stint with the New Zealand Breakers. He also shares how close he came to signing NBL deals in each of the past two seasons, what's kept him motivated off the radar, and why he still hopes to return to the league that made him a fan favourite.       Topics include:

Seth and Sean discuss the Astros beating the Brewers 9-1, dive into some of what Nick Caserio had to say about Jaylin Noel, Jaylen Reed and cited some guys that look to be in much better shape than last year, go through the day's Headlines, break down the Texans' path to an elite defense, assess if Patrick Creighton was calling them out for Altuve talk, the Rockets pushing back the deadline on VanVleet's option, assess if a certain post on social media means goodbye from Steven Adams, dive into what Texans GM Nick Caserio had to say to their questions about the Offensive Line, discuss if the Rockets running Curry ragged changed the trajectory of the NBA Playoffs, read a sappy nonsense story about Curry's hamstring injury, talk about what Nick Caserio had to say to their body transformation question yesterday, divvy up NFL head coaches into buckets by their body type, and assess if Patrick Creighton was referring to them when he called a conversation on Altuve “asinine.”

Seth and Sean discuss the Rockets moving back the deadline for a decision on the Fred VanVleet option and assess if a social media post means goodbye from Steven Adams.

Seth and Sean break down the Texans' path to an elite defense, assess if Patrick Creighton was calling them out for Altuve talk, the Rockets pushing back the deadline on VanVleet's option and assess if a certain post on social media means goodbye from Steven Adams.

Saturday's mini-episode features a compilation of radio calls (via Matt Thomas, Rockets Radio Network) from Friday's thrilling Game 6 victory at Golden State, along with an exclusive postgame interview (12:00) with veteran center Steven Adams.

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!  

Hosts Michael, Alejandro, and Sid kick off with Jason Tatum's first-game playoff injury, debating how his grit and free-throw resilience will shape Boston's title narrative ​. They recap early series shocks: the Miami Heat dispatching Atlanta. The Oklahoma City Thunder's historic 69-point rout of Memphis, followed by another 19-point victory, spotlighted Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's streaky shooting yet undeniable MVP-caliber impact ​. The crew laments Memphis' offseason decisions—losing Dylan Brooks, Steven Adams, and Tyus Jones—and wonders how roster upheaval doomed the Grizzlies.Attention then turns to Eastern and Western play-in drama: Orlando's physical Magic facing a deep Celtics squad despite Tatum's limp; Cleveland's stunning upset of Miami powered by Ty Jerome's 28-point bench explosion ​. Indiana races to a 2–0 lead over a stagnant Bucks, Minnesota dismantles the Lakers in Game 1 behind youth and size, and the Rockets brace for another Steph Curry clinic.

In the marquee West clash, Kawhi Leonard's 39-point flourish in 39 minutes balances Nikola Jokic's historic stat line, even as Denver navigates without a permanent coach.The episode concludes with award-season buzz: Peyton Pritchard's Sixth Man triumph is celebrated, while Clutch Player finalists Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, and Jokic spark lively debate ​.

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!
