Every week leading up to the start of the 2019-2020 NBA season, I will be looking at a different division in the NBA and briefly reviewing the offseasons of each team in the division. Last week, I looked at the Pacific Division, which has three championship contenders. This week is the Southwest Division, holding a dominant Rockets team as well as several younger squads which could make waves this season.
Houston Rockets
Summary: After knocking on the door of the NBA Finals for two years in a row and falling just short each time, the Rockets underwent major change this summer, swapping out Chris Paul at point guard for Russell Westbrook.
