If the team stays as is for the start of the season, how far do you expect the Rockets to go?

I think that getting a championship would not be a surprise. They have the talent to do so.

It's almost going to be, whomever is playing best at the end of season will win the title.

Heat, Rockets, Thunder, Spurs, and Pacer all have a legitimate chance of winning the next NBA championship.

Houston just became a heavy weight again.

 

Right now the 1. Spurs 2. Thunder 3. Clippers are more talented and have been playing together longer than the Rockets team. Getting past one of these three teams would be difficult, so lock up the 4 seed and I see at best a western conference finals apperance. Worst a competitive second round exit.
