The Houston Rockets have had one of the best summers in the NBA. They still need to pay some mind to what the Lakers are building - they're a threat.
Throughout NBA history, it's been a general rule that the team with the best two or three players is the team in the best position. If that's true, the Lakers have an advantage on Houston. Most would agree that at this stage of their careers, Luka Doncic is a better player than Kevin Durant. Durant has an edge over LeBron James, but it's a narrow one.
Where do Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson fit into that equation?
