Do you think the Rockets as Currently Constructed is a Championship Team?

I definitely believe there are a title contender along with 4 other teams in the West.

 

championship contender yes but no to championship team. they are still a piece or two away

 

They're one piece away. In my opinion, that piece would be Lawson to give them an extra playmaker.

They're fringe contenders. They get some injury luck in the playoffs unlike last year, I could see us winning. I can't see them topping Golden State or San Antonio quite yet, though. I think Oklahoma City is being pretty overrated at this point, but that's just me.

 

Resign Smith and Terry and get a PG who can at least play backup minutes. Then we're a contender(if healthy).

 

If everybody is healthy... YES !

 

We aren't the favorites by any means, but I think we are more than just fringe contenders.

 

The Rockets need a point guard.

 

Plain and simple. Until we get a legitimate starting point, I don't see us as serious contenders.

 

A trade for another PG would be nice, but if all else fails.....Nets thinking about waiving Steve Blake. I'd like him as a backup to Bev for the low.

 

Unfortunately, no. We are once again primed to put everything on James Harden's shoulders. It's pretty sad that Houston can't go out and get another guy that can create his own shot and score. I would like Lawson, but they aren't going to give him away for scrubs.

 

Have to get a Ty Lawson type playmaker, and maybe an elite shooter off the bench...or wait till 2016 and hope we get Durant.

 

They definitely had a great shot last year were it not for Beverley's hand, DMo's back and Josh Smith falling into Dwight's knee in Game 1. The top of the West has only gotten tougher though. They'll need internal and external improvement most likely to remain a true contender.

 

Currently- no. I don't.

But I think they are very, very close.

 

Please add option:

Is harden still with a Kardashian? Then no.

 

No. Still that second creator away.

We are close though, but as of now the Spurs, Warriors and Thunder are clearly ahead of us.

 

more than anything else we need another G that can knock down 3's at a high %. Another play-maker, like a PG, would be nice but we need shooters.

 

... as in the mold of JJ Reddick or P Mills.

 

one playmaker or ball handler away. harden shouldnt be the only way our shooters get open shots. beverley can do something here btw, only 3 years pro.
