Houston Rockets

Heading into the 2020-21 season, the Houston Rockets could be one of the worse possible teams in the NBA. It has nothing to do with talent, picking up Christian Wood and taking a gamble on DeMarcus Cousins are both great moves.

Russell Westbrook and James Harden not wanting to be there anymore is a bad look for the organization. They gave up a lot to get Westbrook on the team and after one season is traded for John Wall and a first-round pick. Tough look.

What will the Rockets do with Harden now? I’d be surprised he’s traded to a team he wants to go to unless that team is giving a lot back. It could be a bumpy season for the Rockets if Harden is not locked in this season.
