NBA free agency is in full swing, but the Houston Rockets are on the outside looking in. Arguably, that’s exactly where they ought to be.
The Rockets’ rotation is, for the most part, filled out. In all likelihood, they’re not going to make any major splashes this summer, even as some of us (i.e., me) dream of a three-way Kevin Durant deal that sends most of the Brooklyn picks away in exchange for Scottie Barnes.
That probably won’t happen. Maybe it shouldn’t. The Rockets may very well be better off staying the course.
