My, how things change quickly in the world of NBA rumors. Just a few days ago, the Houston Rockets were being thought of as the primary frontrunners in the effort to acquire disgruntled Minnesota Timberwolves star Jimmy Butler.
The Rockets were being called the most aggressive team in contacting Minnesota, and they also were thought to have the best offer package to this point, which included Eric Gordon, a first-round pick, and either included P.J. Tucker or some Rockets young talent, depending on which report you believed.
