Houston is a legit championship contender yet, especially if they woulda kept the same team from last season...
If they're serious abt becoming a championship team, then they could've upgraded at every position except the 2 and the 5. The Rockets aren't going to miss Parsons as much as you think they will, Ariza will spell him just fine....particularly on D
Oh, Is Wes Matthews a role player? He's the 3rd best player on Portland and he outplayed Parsons in that playoff series this season....and said he was the best SF in that series before it started....
