Why?? He is at his best as post player, not a run jump athlete who excels in PnR and sucks on D. Rockets need bigs that are better than Capela switching on D, not much much worse.
Not getting Butler is a blessing in disguise. Committing Max money to a high milage, injury prone, selfish dude would not have been a good mix for this team. The power balance in the NBA is finally equal for the most part and the Rockets championship window just creaked open a little bit more. The Rockets can def run is back and have a legitimate shot to winning it all next year. Im so happy the Rockets didnt trade Gordon (our xfactor) and Clint and gut this team for Butler. It is going to be a blessing in disguise and you guys will know it soon. The Rockets still in the market to made trades and also signing players using their BAE and MLE.
Butler not going to the Lakers or the Clippers is a Win.. For Miami.. It's a lateral move and Philly got better...
