Podcast: Why James Harden’s interest is uniquely important to the 2023 Rockets

The young Houston Rockets still own the NBA’s worst record (13-49), and armed with an 11-game losing streak, they’re now on their second double-digit skid of 2023 alone. Yet, one of the league’s best players appears very serious about joining the team this offseason.

Friday’s The Lager Line podcast, sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, explores the fascinating juxtaposition of the team’s ongoing struggles balanced against a new wave of rumors regarding James Harden as a potential free agent signing in a few months.

Hosts Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves explore the many considerations at play, along with an assessment of how a 34-year-old Harden could still have significant value to a rebuilding team like the Rockets.

Friday’s full podcast can be listened to below. Each episode of the show is also available via flagship radio station SportsTalk 790, as well as to all major podcast distributors under “The Lager Line.”
