With the retirement of Yao Ming, the Houston Rockets are officially rebuilding and are looking for a good start with the hiring of Celtics legend Kevin McHale to take the reigns in coaching the team.
The veteran leader role will fall to Luis Scola, a veteran of international basketball.
Despite rebuilding, Houston still has assets mainly in the collective talent they accumulated through trades for the past two seasons. Their back court consists of budding point guard Kyle Lowry while providing the scoring is Kevin Martin.
Young pieces like Goran Dragic, Jonny Flynn, Patrick Patterson, Terrence Williams and Courtney Lee are currently in tow and to be utilized. Hasheem Thabeet is expected to start at center, atleast if the Rockets don't bring in a qualified center from the free agent market. The former 2nd pick overall will have a fresh start with a team that is desperately needing the presence of a center.
The undersized center, Chuck Hayes is a unrestricted free agent. So much uncertainty with the post-Yao era.

Sad news:
Former Houston Rockets President and General Manager Ray Patterson has passed away.
