After The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski reported last week that Jimmy Butler wanted out of Minnesota, many NBA teams, including the Rockets, are scrambling to put together a trade package that would work for both sides.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Minnesota’s asking price for Butler is too high for the interested teams, as of Thursday. But that isn’t slowing down Daryl Morey.
According to Fox 26 Sports’ Mark Berman, the Rockets are making a ‘strong effort’ to land Jimmy Butler. This report comes just two days after Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that the Rockets are trying to be ‘creative’ in their pursuit of Jimmy Butler.
