I think the Houston Rockets are contenders now.

One of the best offensive teams in the NBA gets one of the best defensive big men in the NBA.

McHale will do complete wonders for Howard's offensive post game. Have you seen Asik before and after the season? He was doing up and overs and unders like he was born to do it!


This team has so much talent. Parsons, Lin, Beverly, Asik, Robinson...This team is going to be so much fun to watch. James Harden is going to go nuts, having someone like Howard. This is the first time the Rockets have been legit contenders since Hakeem (or maybe the T-Mac/Yao Ming era, for a wittle wittle bit).


The Rockets' defense if just going to skyrocket with Dwight Howard. He's one of those players that can just change the complete culture defensively (among KG, Noah, and others). So many dynamics. Watch out, Heat and Thunder.

Go Nets! Still!

Depends what they get for Asik and/or Lin, but they're definitely close.

They traded Robinson to Portland. And I expect Asik to follow suit. They still have a lot of talent though.
