Rebirth of a Franchise: A Houston Rockets Franchise

The combination of Dwight Howard & James Harden didn't seem to work out. Now Harden is the only star on this roster.

Houston, TX (AP) - The Houston Rockets are headed for a fresh start in the 2015-2016 season, they've lost Dwight Howard to free agency after a unsuccessful James Harden & Dwight 2 star duo that made got them as far as the Western Conference Finals but losing to the Golden State Warriors in a close series. Now with Harden as the lone star, and a few new additions, the Rockets look to fight to stay relevant and remain as an elite team in the tough NBA Western Conference. Newly hired GM, Elijah Dupas says "We look to continue the winning tradition of this franchise but also evolve and elevate to the next level like other NBA teams have down. Seperate ourselves from being just a historic franchise who won two championships to a franchise that now on the verge of creating a dynasty. I feel I'm the right man for the job because of the vision that I have for the city of Houston and this will be the true Rebirth of a Franchise but taken to the next level I promise that." That's big shoes and words to follow from the newly hired GM as the Rockets don't expect to be a factor this year on paper, but it will be interesting to see how this new challenge works out this season. Will the Rockets remain a contender in the West or will they fall to the lower totem pole of the NBA as it looks to be that way on paper? Only this 2015-2016 season will be the answer.
