    In no particular order:
    1. Obviously, we need to re-sign our core free agents (this changes if any big names like LeBron express interest in signing here). To me these are:
      - Chris Paul
      - Clint Capela
      - Trevor Ariza
      - Luc Mbah a Moute
      - Gerald Green

    2. Figure out how to dump Ryan Anderson's contract - this will probably be Morey's greatest challenge of the offseason and will be critical if we want to get LeBron here

    3. We need another competent point guard who can run the offense and make spot-up threes. We can't pretend that CP3 and Harden are going to be healthy all year next year. Would've been really nice to have insurance in Game 6 and 7

    4. We need at least one big man who can stretch the floor (like Ryno) and isn't a defensive liability (unlike Ryno)

    5. You can never have enough 3&D wings (see: LMAM injury)

    6. Morey needs to have a better year next year with the veteran minimum signings during the buy out season. Gerald Green was an amazing find but Joe Johnson and Brandan Wright were misses. Gotta do better than 1 for 3.
    Great freaking year Rockets! I can't wait to see what you'll do next year.

    Who is going to take Ryan Anderson, after this postseason? He barely got any minutes this entire playoff run, his contract is bloated, and his one strength isn't good enough a la Kyle Korver.

    His defense isn't good enough to guard bullying 4s and 5s and he's not quick enough to stay in front of speedy players.

    Rockets are going to have to take such a big L to get rid of Ryan, that I honestly think he'd be best kept here.

    all-star caliber two-way SF that can shoot, drive, and an elite 1 on 1 iso game.
