What’s a summer without the Houston Rockets getting seriously involved in trade talks for another star? This year, their main focus appears to be on the four-time All-Star Jimmy Butler, who they have now pursued on multiple occasions.
Jimmy Buckets had an interesting season last year in which he split time between the Timberwolves and the 76ers. In Minny, he famously wanted out as the young players were not hardworking enough for him. He was a good fit with the Sixers, though, especially in the playoffs where he had six games of 20+ points to help them advance one game short of the eventual-champion Raptors.
