In the newest episode of the Hockey Assist, Nolan and Riley jump into the shootaround talking about the excellent coaching of Stephen Silas for the Houston Rockets, as well as the renaissance of the power forward position (4:00). The minutiae minute takes several minutes with conversations on homer color commentators and potential improvements to basketball telecasts (23:20). Then, Nolan and Riley discuss the big question of the episode, inspired by the #freeBeal movement and Draymond’s comments: is there a double standard between how players and organizations approach player movement, and what can be done about it? They go deep on what the player empowerment era really means, whether player empowerment can fit in with the league economy, and the effects on the NBA business when the product is also people (33:45).
