Would the Rockets consider trading into the 2026 NBA Draft?

As of now, the Houston Rockets do not own a first-round pick in the much anticipated 2026 NBA Draft. That asset was sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of the ill-fated 2019 trade involving Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook. The Rockets do, however, possess a significant amount of future draft capital. If Houston […] The post Would the Rockets consider trading into the 2026 NBA Draft? appeared first on ClutchFans .

The Case for an Astros Rebuild

We step outside the lab again today to take a look at the argument for an Astros tear down. There are two main reasons why a rebuild makes a ton of sense. So, we should take a look at what that looks like and the whys and what fors for a decision as seemingly rash […]

Rockets GM Rafael Stone and head coach Ime Udoka don’t seem to be on the same page

The Houston Rockets have some work to do, from a roster standpoint. This couldn’t have been made more obvious following Houston’s disappointing first-round postseason series against the Los Angeles Lakers, who were playing without their best player in Luka Doncic, while their second-best player in Austin Reaves was limited to just two games. The Rockets […]

How the Houston Texans misread Marlin Klein in the draft

The NFL Draft is a microcosm of where an organization stands in its roster development. Some teams are actively unshackling themselves to their expensive, ball-and-chain veteran contracts. Some are desperately building around a veteran QB. The Houston Texans fall into the group of teams operating in a win-now window, where the focus shifts from broad […]

In The Lab: Astros Catchers BPO

On a long enough timeline the survival rate drops to zero. Water finds its level. Everything regresses to the mean. Insert your euphemism here. One of the things we notice with numbers is that over time they usually approach what we would have expected. Unfortunately for the Astros catchers, they are left with Christian Vazquez […]

Astros 2, Twins 1: Zebby solid, bats stone cold

Zebby Matthews got off to a shaky start tonight, with a Jeremy Pena single and Isaac Paredes 2-run homer. However, after that, he settled into things and was able to go 6 innings, scattering 5 hits and striking out 6 along the way. All he needed was the Twins lineup to give him a modicum […]

Astros Roster Moves: McCullers to IL; Meyers, Pearson Activated

The Houston Astros starter was scratched from his scheduled start today vs. Minnesota. The Astros have placed RHP Lance McCullers Jr. on the 15-day IL (retro 5/16) due to right shoulder inflammation. The team also optioned UT Shay Whitcomb to Triple-A Sugar Land. Houston has reinstated CF Jake Meyers and RHP Nate Pearson from the Injured List. […]

About Last Night: Colt Emerson, Joy, and Letting Go

The Mariners haven’t been very much fun to watch this year.  Sure, the run differential is positive. The fun differential, though? Stinky. Trash. Probably sitting about where the 19-30 Houston Astros run differential is, near the bottom of the league (the sentence is clunky, but please allow me this opportunity to bully the Astros).  Most […]

Astros Minor League Hotlist: May 19th

Who’s Hot At The Plate? Chase Call – Call was selected by the Astros in the 16th round of the 2025 draft. The outfielder had a monster week for Asheville hitting .556 with 3 doubles, 3 home runs, 10 runs batted in and 3 stolen bases in just 4 games. He has a .857 OPS this […]

Rockets 2025-2026 season in review: Fred VanVleet

Yes, we know that Fred VanVleet didn’t play for the Houston Rockets this season. But given that GM Rafael Stone stayed quiet at the NBA Trade Deadline and cited VanVleet’s absence for why team management wasn’t making any moves to improve, which became a huge part of this season’s narrative, we wanted to include FVV […]

Twins 6, Astros 3: Two hours later…

It was a stormy night in Minneapolis and no one from Cory Provus to the players on the field thought this game was going to go a full nine innings. The field was a mess, Astros shorstop Jeremy Peña turned the field into his personal slip-n-slide, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, was […]
