If you haven’t noticed, something is brewing in Houston this NBA offseason. The Rockets are ready to lift off.
Of course, this team’s on-court play hasn’t suggested as much in recent years. The Rockets have been tanking. This season, they’ll be trying to win basketball games again.
The team’s hiring of Ime Udoka suggests as much. Meanwhile, the Rockets owe their next first-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder with top-4 protection. Suddenly, this team has no incentive to lose.
With that in mind, the Rockets will be looking to add solid veterans. Still, this team won’t be in title contention for quite some time.
If the Rockets could find a buy-low opportunity on a young player with star potential, they should probably take it.
Could they land Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors?
