    We had a nice run, though, nearly three decades and never without a star. Of course, a couple of them were fool's gold, but no one thought that at the time. You have to go back to the 1982-83 team to find a roster without an elite player. Not many teams have been as fortunate as the Rockets have been.

    Ralph to
    Dream to
    Franchise to
    T-Mac to
    Yao to

    Going to need a lot of ping pong balls to have a shot at drafting Barnes.

    Lowry, martin, and scola certainly have all star potential. It all comes down to how you define star. If you mean a franchise player who is a superstar, then no we don't have a star. If you mean someone who could be an all star, then yes we do.

    So the OP was incorrect. The Houston Rockets have never been without a star player in their entire history, until now. If you count their time in San Diego then they were only without a star player for their initial year of existence.
