The Houston Rockets did not have to make a blockbuster trade or huge free agency signing this offseason. Following a 52-win campaign and hard-fought effort against a seasoned Golden State Warriors squad brimming with big-game experience, many fans would have understood if the organization kept the young core intact and trusted natural development to run its course. If Houston resided in the injury-ravaged Eastern Conference, perhaps that strategy could work. The Rockets sprung into action this summer, implementing a plan that certainly looks auspicious on paper.
