Last week:

Houston Rockets
Record: 55-27
Pace: 102.5 (3) OffRtg: 111.8 (2) DefRtg: 106.4 (18) NetRtg:+5.4 (3)

Key addition(s): Chris Paul, versatility
Key departure(s): Patrick Beverley
Key question: Does anyone want Ryan Anderson?

Carmelo Anthony would surely have a tough time defensively against the Warriors, but he'd surely be a big offensive upgrade over Anderson, who can't create nearly as well off the dribble, shot only a hair better than Anthony (42.7 percent vs. 42.6 percent) on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers last season (with a much better passer at point guard), and can't match up with the Warriors either. No matter what happens between now and Oct. 17, the Rockets have already done well with their post-trade moves to get defense and versatility off the bench, signing P.J. Tucker with the mid-level exception and Luc Mbah a Moute at the minimum. Paul and James Harden should work together pretty well and if any team is going to make the Warriors sweat, it's this one.

VI sighting

But Ryan Anderson would be an easy to contract to move and Rockets had to do something with the cap space.....
