Rockets Reach Western Conference Finals

This is the area that I think is quite certain to happen, as the Rockets are legitimate contenders this season. The Rockets have been legitimate contenders in each of the last 2 seasons as well, its just the Golden State Warriors have unfortunately been in their way. But the Rockets are being picked to win the West and even are picked by some to have the best record in the league, simply because they will be that good. Sure it won’t be easy to get there considering how much better the Western Conference will be, but there’s a reason the Rockets are being picked as favorites.

If the Rockets reach this milestone, Capela will make $1 million each season alone. I think this is a million dollar bonus Capela can bank on earning this season, but it’s interesting this was even included as an incentive because it has alot more to do with the team than Capela. Obviously Capela’s play will have a significant say in how far the Rockets go, but it’s not like he would single-handedly carry them to the Conference Finals.
