Of 6 most used trios, 3 are near neutral, 3 are great. The 3 great, all had Adams as a named / always participant. Thompson probably was in some but he wasn't an always participant. He was an always participant in 2 of the 3 meh trios.
Thompson - Durant was the worst pair in 9 most used.

Rockets noted for least ball and player movement.
Re: Houston Rockets
Rockets, 2nd on offensive rating, 6 on defense, 2nd overall.
2nd slowest pace. 30th on 3pta rate. 3 top 10 factors, 5 middle. Opponent turnover rate is the closest to a factor problem at 19th.
Satisfied? Not everyone is.
Amen Thompson's BPM is down 80% from last season. Mainly just go with points, some might be fairly happy with a 3pt / gm increase but efg% is down almost 9%pts and ts% down 7. Rebounding down, steals down, blocks way down. Raw +/- data is fine. 3pt fg% splits horrid yr1 and bad yr2 and comes in at 20.5%. FT% improving but not bringing 3pt fg% with it.
29th on Darko but but bottom 20% on recent change. Plateaued on both sides of court and overall mid last season.
Durant's BPM at +1.7. Down more than 75% from 2022-23. Lowest since he was a rookie. Big extension? I wouldn't. Probably an issue for resolution next summer but it is on at least simmer with Durant. Lowest ts% since 2011-12, near low rebounding rates. But FT rate is highest since 2013-14. Foul rate at all-time high though still moderate.
Jabari Smith's BPM is up to career best... but only +0.1. Horrible on long 2s (21% fg, though only 7% of shot diet.) Moderately below average at the rim.
Plenty of above average depth.
Could trade if inclined.
More 3ptas might be desired, so long it doesn't significantly alter the 40% hit rate.
