Houston Rockets: Do they have the NBA’s best backcourt?

The Kyrie IrvingIsaiah Thomas trade has captured most of the NBA world’s attention as we embark on the beginning of training camp. But perhaps the Houston Rockets acquisition of Chris Paul was still the best move of the offseason.

Not only did ESPN rank the addition of Chris Paul as the best of the offseason, but they also placed him ahead of James Harden in their annual #NBArank.

Paul finished seventh on the list, placing one position higher than his new teammate, who got the eighth spot. This ranking will definitely raise some eyebrows, because the common sentiment is that the Rockets are James Harden’s team.
