The Rockets enter the offseason looking to kickstart their rebuild in 2023-24 after a trio of seasons in the Western Conference cellar. And luckily for general manager Rafael Stone, Houston has more than one path back to relevance.
Ping-pong balls and prayers for Victor Wembanyama aren't the only thing keeping hope alive in Houston at the moment. The Rockets enter this summer armed with nearly $60 million in cap space, now intent on pursuing additions that Stone says he hopes will make the roster "materially better" entering a pivotal season.
