With the NBA Draft Lottery around the corner, our show dives into what it could mean for the Houston Rockets.
Could Cooper Flagg actually land in Houston? And if not, how far down the lottery would the Rockets have to fall before considering trading the pick?
We also talk about the realistic outcomes of drafting a young player — what if the Rockets land a prospect who ends up needing serious development, like Reed Sheppard? Will they help now, or just take up a seat on the bench next postseason?

Nick Chubb has officially passed his physical and joined the Texans for mandatory minicamp on Tuesday — and with that, Houston’s running back room just got a lot more compelling.
In this episode, we dive into what Chubb’s arrival could mean for the entire backfield, starting with Joe Mixon, who was reportedly in a walking boot this offseason. With questions swirling about health, roles, and long-term upside, the Texans suddenly have a lot to sort out in one of the league’s most intriguing RB rotations.
We explore whether Chubb is a true upgrade over Mixon, if the Texans are making a smart bet on his comeback, and how much of his 2024 production can be chalked up to injury recovery. Plus, we break down how Dameon Pierce fits into all of this — and who might ultimately be the best option behind a potentially limited Mixon.
Texans fans — is Nick Chubb the X-factor this team needs, or just another name in a crowded backfield? Let’s get into it. ESPN Houston's Jeremy Branham and Joel Blank break it all down!
