Rockets add All-Star Paul as they look to take next step

''We're looking forward to trying to get as close as we can or better than Golden State,'' coach Mike D'Antoni said. When the Rockets orchestrated the blockbuster deal with the Clippers in June to acquire Paul, a nine-time All-Star, the obvious question was how he and Harden would coexist.
