Houston Rockets: 5 moves that will deliver a championship in 2020
By Kyle Crabbe
Landing Jimmy Butler
This year’s NBA free agency period has been built up for quite some time as one of the best classes in recent history. The Rockets would be wise to get into the action and add a key player from this great free agent class.
And adding Jimmy Butler, after losing Chris Paul, would help take this team to the next level. They’d probably have to make some moves to create the sufficient cap space or even work a sign-and-trade with the Sixers, but nothing is too much for Daryl Morey to get done.
Butler’s great defensive ability would work well in the system, and next to James Harden. Plus, he’s also an elite player on the offensive side of the ball as well. If there’s even a small possibility of landing Butler, Houston should do whatever it takes to make it happen.
