John KaralisHOST
Their ultimate goal is to pair these pro franchises, which is why the Connecticut Sun are moving to Houston and not to Boston under a different owner, even though the Boston offer was better than Houston's offer.
John KaralisHOST
They want to move that team to Houston and pair them with the Rockets, and have, uh, Bill Chisholm, owner of the Celtics, put in an expansion bid and tie those teams together.
John KaralisHOST
If the Portland Trail Blazers move, what happens with that WNBA team? They just expanded there.
John KaralisHOST
That's, that would also be a failure on, on Silver's part.
Matthew TynanHOST
And this is where, I don't know, man, it just gets complicated to me.
Matthew TynanHOST
Like, l- okay, right off the bat, the Houston Rockets, I'm, I'm looking at Kevin Durant, I'm looking at Amen Thompson.
Matthew TynanHOST
Amen Thompson is someone who j- you can just kinda throw anywhere, and, and he makes an impact just because of his size, his athleticism, his ball handling, all this stuff.
Matthew TynanHOST
He can't, he can't shoot.
Chuck WalterHOST
He said he was done in that interview with Tom Tolbert with two weeks to go last regular season.
Chuck WalterHOST
So before, probably around the Rockets game, honestly.
Chuck WalterHOST
That was about two weeks before Kings, Rockets.
Chuck WalterHOST
There were a few games like that in the regular season.
Chuck WalterHOST
And he said he was done.
Kirk CoburnHOST
Well, I will say this, that there was one post-game interview in the heart of celebration that we should play this clip.
Kirk CoburnHOST
Rudy Tomjanovich, after the Rockets win the whole NBA Finals, what is he saying to the reporter? Do you remember this?
Mark MeyerHOST
Never underestimate the heart of a champion.
Kirk CoburnHOST
Never underestimate the heart of a champion.
Kane CornesHOST
I think it absolutely competed with the best of the grand finals that I've been to.
Sam EdmundHOST
There's a good sort of blowing of one's own trumpet sort of exercise in this, isn't there? I saw the Rockets in their prime with Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler.

Mark Russell PereiraHOST
Yeah.
Mark Russell PereiraHOST
And I know that there are several Josh Akogi stands who will say he started for the Houston Rockets last year in the playoffs.
Mark Russell PereiraHOST
And I'm like, I don't know if you wanted him to be starting and for the Houston Rockets in the playoffs.
Mark Russell PereiraHOST
It's also the most unknown question.
Mark Russell PereiraHOST
So we can credibly color us.
IsaacPANELIST
If not, I'd be called dummy on a hard one.
BobbyHOST
Anyways, Houston Rockets.
BobbyHOST
The Houston Rockets have been an interesting team this offseason.
BobbyHOST
They signed Bogdan
BennyHOST
Bogdanovic, signed Marcus Smart.
11 MINS LATER
BobbyHOST
Yeah, 20 points per game score.
BobbyHOST
So I think this offense is going to be a good offense next season.
BobbyHOST
But if it's game seven and two minutes left, who is Euston running the offense through? Kevin Durant.
Trista KrickGUEST
And I know she's so early on in her career.
Trista KrickGUEST
But I always go back to, did you not see what James Harden did one game into the NBA season about the Houston Rockets just completely burying? He was like, none of these players are any good.
Trista KrickGUEST
And people are like, oh, you just never hear superstar talk.
Trista KrickGUEST
Like, what? He literally was like going down the roster.
Trista KrickGUEST
Whenever anyone, including our mutual friend, tries to bury Angel Reese for what she said about the Chicago Sky, and I know she's so early on in her career.
