I saw on espn that Rockets can give a better package plus picks because Miami doesnt have a 1st round pick until 2023 and they have players like Winslow and Richardson.
Great Lakers = LBJ/AD/Some star Clippers = Kawhi/Butler/great depth It's going to be top heavy out West
Rockets may not be in Butler's list...Butler came to Houston/Tomball first but probably didn't find anyone.. Harden/Paul/Morey...none....
At this point these reporters are just throwing **** on the wall and seeing if it sticks. Conflicting reports left and right
Actually hope the Butler and Kawhi pairing in LA happens. Would easily beat the Lakers for biggest splash and actual talent.
If that happens then there will atleast be 3 teams better than Rockets next season in the west ...GS & 2 LA teams.
GS is better by virtue of them beating us game 6 without KD on our floor. Lakers yet to be seen. However Utah got significantly better (Conley + Bogdanovic)..Portland got Kent Bazemore...
They are not better LOL. That makes no sense. Would a Kawhiless Spurs beat the 2016-17 rockets in a series, no. And Utah hasnt signed Bogdnavoic yet.
