It’s no secret that the Houston Rockets lack depth, which is evident by the fact that James Harden is plying his most minutes since the 2015-16 season and PJ Tucker is playing a career-high in minutes this season. On top of that, Russell Westbrook is also playing the third-most minutes of his twelve-year career, which is only further proof of the Rockets’ need for more contributors.
According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, the Houston Rockets recently decided to abandon the Robert Covington pursuit, which is yet another sign of the Rockets lack of depth, because you’d have to think they wouldn’t be bowing out if they had the necessary assets.
