Marty Burns of the Sports Illustrated writes, "New Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has been aggressive in his first offseason at the Houston helm, adding veteran guards Steve Francis and Mike James as well as Argentine power forward Luis Scola. Along with new coach Rick Adelman and the return of Bonzi Wells, the Rockets suddenly look like a more potent and deeper team -- at least on paper. 'We definitely felt there was a talent gap between us and [the top] teams, and we wanted to close it,' Morey said. 'We still have to go out and prove it. But we feel we're at least in the mix now with San Antonio, Dallas and the other top teams.'"
