Of all positions that the Rockets really need to address...The still need a POWER Forward... If the Rockets can trade up into the 1st round...Brice Johnson would be a terrific get. The Rockets really need a 4 year starter that can contribute to the Roster this year. I expect them to select one international project/draft and stash...and 1 4 year starting Forward.
Suns are probably willing to give up #4... ESPN’s Chad Ford: Suns could trade out of NBA Draft lottery for younger vet Spoiler Suns - Gordon Hayward Spoiler

Woj said that the Wolves have basically tried to move up with Rubio but no one wnats him? He also said that the Pacers tried to trade for Gay but the Kings asked for too many picks and they just went after Young.
Sacramento has been heavily engaged in trade talks all week and sources say one player they've tried to land is the Lakers' D'Angelo Russell — Marc Stein Heard one deal that was offered to Chicago for Jimmy Butler included Minnesota's No. 5 pick and Zach LaVine. — Ian Begley
If I was Chicago...I'd ask for more...Butler with Thibs in Minny would be a really good fit along side Wiggins. I really can see this team being a mid tier playoff team.
Could be a good deal... but would it be worth giving up LaVine when you could draft Buddy Hield and let him develop.
MJ and that dumb GM really making it impossible for that team ever to become a threat. Watch them resign all their players to ridiculous contracts and stay mediocre for at least 5 years unless Curry decides to come home.
