Houston's moves have paid off, and should continue to this season.
The great challenge of rebuilding an NBA franchise is comparable to cleaning your room. First, you take away all of the things you don't need or want to have around, and then you start from scratch. After remodeling, you can take the direction of your room in any way you so choose.
The first and most obvious choice is to build your team through the draft. Losing for a few seasons could pay off with top draft picks, which the franchise would then develop into elite players or contributing pieces to what would hopefully be a playoff team. The Houston Rockets are rebuilding their team through what seems like the first choice, and it's gone more than smoothly for the organization thus far. After trading away their franchise superstar James Harden in 2021, the Rockets hit a hard reset on the organization, going through three straight losing seasons.
After a 22-60 2022-23 season, the Rockets saw vast improvement under new coach Ime Udoka, going 41-41 and nearly making the Play-In Tournament last season. Their 19-win improvement was the biggest season turnaround from any team last season.
