Over the course of the 2019-20 season, no team has encountered as much change as the Houston Rockets. Their odyssey began in the summer when they flipped Chris Paul for Russell Westbrook but it veered completely into the unknown when they shipped out Clint Capela, completely eschewing the traditional center, in a quest to produce ever more space and pace.
No contender has spent as little time together on the court as the Rockets have and as a result, the NBA’s restart scrimmages will be incredibly consequential to Mike D’Antoni and his staff as they have many more questions than answers about this team.
