The Houston Rockets 2018-19 season has been a fascinating one. They retooled their supporting cast following their Western Conference Finals loss to the Warriors. Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute were out. James Ennis and Carmelo Anthony were in.
Fast forward months later to February. Both Ennis and Melo are both gone and the team has retooled once again. This time, the supporting cast seems to be working. Austin Rivers, Kenneth Faried, and now Iman Shumpert surround the trio of Rockets stars spectacularly well.
