Summary
The Rockets received rough injury news as Fred VanVleet will likely miss the entire season with an ACL tear. Pete and Darius discuss the injury, how big of a loss this is to Houston both as a player and a leader, potential solutions to their depth problems at guard, and what this does to their status as a contending team. And then later, the guys look at other west contenders in the lead up to training camps opening and how the Lakers stack up.
