The Rockets go after the signing of Jimmy Butler
According to Marc Stein, the Heat star joins Kevin Durant as a major target for the Texas franchise
The Houston Rockets project in the NBA is progressing notably. The Texas team has laid the foundations of their project with names like Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, and Fred VanVleet, among others. However, they still feel the lack of that big star who can lead them all, and Jimmy Butler is a new target in that desire.
This has been advanced by NBA Rumors Marc Stein. The renowned league insider asserts that the Miami Heat star is on the Rockets' radar, along with a Kevin Durant, whose interest from Houston was already known.
Although it won't be possible to make a short-term move for Jimmy Butler because the Houston Rockets have extended Sengun and Green with the rookie scale, the team dreams of acquiring a star, and Butler has not renewed with the Miami Heat.
With a player option for the next season, Butler could become a free agent in 2025. He could also choose to force a trade. In that case, the Rockets would become a team to watch.
