The Houston Rockets have remade much of their roster over the past few years and are now one of the youngest teams in the NBA.

“I think we’re probably going to be the hardest team to know where we’re going to end up in the league,” general manger Daryl Morey said. “Really, I think we’re going to learn a lot about all the players in their first, second and third year. Frankly, the only known commodities are Kevin Martin and Carlos Delfino.”

The Rockets' marketing slogan is "A New Age".

“If you’re a championship contender, you want to feel like you know what is going to happen,” Morey said. “If you are a team trying to get back to that status, you want a lot of unknowns, a lot of guys with talent. The worst thing to be is to very consistently win 35 games. We won’t do that. Our goal is to get into playoff contention.

How that will happen will be hard to know. It will be who steps up from this group.

“I think we know pretty much everyone we’ve got has shown some sort of elite skill on some level. Really, what our team comes down to is can they add to those one or two skills into (becoming) an all-around player that helps us win at a very high level.”

Morey says that this overhaul doesn't represent a change in philosophy.

“Ever since Yao Ming went down, we’ve been very consistent,” Morey said. “Every move, every player is someone who can develop into an All-Star or gives us the flexibility through free agency or trade to add an All-Star-level guy.”
