Ok we have all been busy waiting for football season to start, however I realized that we have been neglecting to talk about the one team in Houston that actually could be the best of the bunch.Yes I am talking about the Houston Rockets and what with the current trades and other injuries that have occured in the past month, the Rockets are looking more like a contender than ever before. They have quality depth, and a good mix of youth and veterans to really succeed in the Western Conference. Why do I say that well let's look at the roster as it stands right now
Potential Starters
7 Mike James PG 6-2 195
1 Tracy McGrady GF 6-8 223
4 Luis Scola F 6-9 230
31 Shane Battier SF 6-8 220
11 Yao Ming C 7-6 310
First 4 off Bench
44 Chuck Hayes F 6-6 238
6 Bonzi Wells SG 6-5 210
3 Steve Francis PG 6-3 195
45 Jackie Butler FC 6-10 260
Final 3 active roster spots
0 Aaron Brooks G 6-0 160
13 Kirk Snyder SG 6-6 225
2 Luther Head G 6-3 185
3 potential for inactive list
20 Steve Novak F 6-10 220
9 Justin Reed SF 6-8 238
14 Carl Landry F 6-7 245
Trade Bait
15 John Lucas PG 5-11 165
12 Rafer Alston PG 6-2 175
3 Bob Sura G 6-5 200
D- League possible
21 Brad Newley G 6-7 201
29 Mike Harris F 6-6 240
Now the final 6 may change depending upon what sort of health issues occur but this team is sitting pretty right now what with plenty of depth at guard and maybe more depth if Mutombo comes back for one more year.
Can they get anything for Sura, Alston, or Lucas, maybe you never know. But at least the season is starting with some optimism
