⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tom's Title Tiers: #7

Should the Houston Rockets go all in? Here are 4 star targets to consider.

The Houston Rockets are loaded. But are they locked in with this roster?

Welcome to another edition of Tom’s Title Tiers! New year, same schedule. First thing every Monday morning, your inbox will have my tiered rankings of every title contender with a longer focus on one team per week.

A reminder: This is my subjective list based largely on objective data. This is not a pure, analytical ranking. You’re here because you want to know what I think, to get inside my brain a little bit. Consider this a weekly report of what I see on film; what I glean from the numbers; what I hear on the phone; what I read in the news; what I feel.

This week’s featured squad: the Houston Rockets.

Here’s a quick rundown of each tier.

Tom’s Title Tiers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a complete team, no notes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just missing that one thing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ One move away from being one move away.

⭐️⭐️ So much has to break right.

⭐️ Sooo you’re saying there’s a chance.

This week, I take a look at the Houston Rockets. Is it worth packaging young talent for a star? After Joel Embiid and Paul George’s latest injuries, can I still put Philly on here?

Let’s find out.
