Houston Rockets

  • Key Players Added: Eric Gordon
  • Key Players Lost: Dwight Howard
  • Key Players Re-signed: James Harden (Contract Extension)

Houston will keep their superstar around for at least another four seasons.  The Rockets needed to do MORE. With the loss of Dwight Howard, and with the addition of forward Ryan Anderson, the Rockets could get pushed around inside the key.  For not making necessary improvements, Houston will likely have an underwhelming season.
