The Houston Rockets were forced to stand pat during free agency after their top target, Jimmy Butler, chose to sign with the Miami Heat.
So barring role players, the Rockets “big three” will again be Clint Capela, Chris Paul and James Harden. Many Rockets fans have recently turned on Clint Capela, but I should remind you that just 2 seasons ago, the Rockets had a record of 50-5 when Capela, Paul, and Harden all played.
Sure, Capela didn’t play well against the Warriors but that’s because the Warriors were built in such a way that they could go small and play Draymond Green at the five with their “Hampton Five” line-up.
