    Default Rockets sign Marcus Thorton to vet min.

    Nice pick up. If they can keep this WCF team together, and add a piece here or there (scoring off the bench, looking at you Marcus), they're going to be back and better than last season.

    With a healthy team (Dwight missed 41 games, DMo missed 11 games and the entire playoffs, Jones missed 49 games, Beverley missed 26 games and the entire playoffs), this team will end up with 60 wins.

    Yep, will be interesting to see how they match-up against GS and SAS when healthy. Spurs got much better and GS will being back the Finals squad. I'm assuming the Rockets end up with a top 3 seed in the West, maybe top 2 depending on whether the Spurs have their normal rut in the regular season.

    Until I see KD back to his old self I can't really project them as a title contender. Foot injuries are tough injuries to put behind a player his size. I really hope he can but there is just so much uncertainty.

    Morey's having a good summer. This is great value for a guy who can drop buckets when he's hot. If he's off, you don't have to play him.

    I'd even go so far as to say Houston, with the re-signing of Smith, are deeper than OKC.

    The Rox second roation, as of now, is:

    J. Terry
    M. Thorton
    C. Brewer
    T. Jones
    J. Smith/C. Capela

    That's a pretty good rotation for bench players.

    I think GS finishes as the #1 seed. LAC/OKC/SAS/ and HOU will all finish within a few games of each other.

    But as I said earlier, Houston won 56 games with 3 of their first 6 missing 1/3 of the season. They'll break 60 this season.

    I had no idea this guy averaged 21 3 3 a few years ago. Mitch Richmond lite.

    Durant would prolly score 60 on Rockets..who can stop him? Our squad is compete we'll be invicible next season.
