It goes without saying that 2020 has been one wild ride for everyone, and the Houston Rockets have been no exception to the rule.

COVID-19, the Bubble, the Lakers series debacle and the fallout — Mike D’Antoni and Daryl Morey are gone and now the Rockets have shipped out Russell Westbrook to the Washington Wizards for John Wall (and his equivalent contract) and a lottery-protected 2023 first-round pick.

And oh yeah — James Harden tried to force a trade to the Brooklyn Nets.
