The 2-Man Game: Players will take less money to join LeBron in Houston
Rockets Rundown
Mario Elie and Joel Blank
05 June 2018
Joel and Mario discuss the big decisions the Rockets will have to make this offseason. Mario believes the Rockets should explore all options that would bring LeBron James to Houston because he doesn't appear to be slowing down physically. Signing Clint Capela to a max contract, on the other hand, is just too much money to commit to a player that can't get his own shot. Finally, if the Rockets are able to bring back Chris Paul, they need to have a quality backup just in case CP3 gets injured again.
Opening Day is just days away for the Astros, and the biggest storyline leading up to the season has been Cam Smith. Smith put together an impressive spring, but many wondered if that would be enough to make the big league roster. Well, we don't have to wonder anymore.
Manager Joe Espada announced that Smith will start in right field against the Mets on Opening Day. And it gets even better, the Astros captured the moment Smith found out he made the club on video.
Be sure to watch the video below as Smith's mother breaks the exciting news to Houston's new slugger!
