We don&#x27;t like rebuilding. We like to be competitive every year. We&#x27;re on the same page. We look forward to being a successful team for many years to come.&quot;The Rockets, who are third in the West entering Wednesday&#x27;s game versus first-place Golden State, also picked up the option on head coach Mike D&#x27;Antoni&#x27;s contract that will keep him in Houston through 2019-20.Morey said he wants to work on an extension for D&#x27;Antoni during the offseason.&quot;He&#x27;s such a critical factor,&quot; Morey said. &quot;Speaking for myself only, I would love for him to be here for as long as he wants to be here.
