The Houston Rockets are one of the few teams in the NBA that has mastered the art of constant evolution to remain competitive. After trading for a package centered around franchise cornerstone James Harden in the summer of 2012, the Rockets have acquired Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and now Russell Westbrook over the past six years.
While injuries had begun to rob both Howard and Paul of their powers by the time they came to Houston, the Rockets are getting a healthy Westbrook who is still in his athletic prime.
