Will the future of the Rockets be revitalized by the introduction of superstars?According to reliable sources, Rockets manager Stone is interested in trading for a superstar to lead the team. And this superstar is none other than the Heat's core player - Jimmy Butler. Butler himself has expressed his interest in playing in Houston.
And the Heat's inability to bring in more stars led to trade rumors for Butler, which also made players who were originally confused about the future of the Heat begin to be interested in the Rockets' offer. What the Rockets need to do is get rid of the contracts of their current players, including Landale, Oladipo and VanVleet, as soon as possible in order to free up salary space for Jimmy Butler.
While this won't be easy, once these contracts are processed, Stone can prioritize agreeing with Butler and then propose a trade to the Heat. For the Heat, they didn't trade in a new All-Star this summer, and Riley was reluctant to sign Butler to a contract extension early, which also frustrated Butler's family.
As a result, the likelihood of Butler joining the Rockets is gradually increasing. If this deal goes through, the Rockets' future starting lineup will change dramatically, and with the addition of Butler, the team's ceiling will become extremely high, and two young players, the White Devils and Amen, will also have a chance to make their mark on the team.
Such a strong squad is bound to be a serious contender for the playoffs. As for the Heat, they are also looking for new targets, and Butler's departure has made the Heat even more eager to bring in new players. In this way, not only the Rockets, but also the Heat will usher in new developments.
All in all, the Rockets' acquisition of Jimmy Butler will certainly bring new energy and competitiveness to the team, and the Heat will also look for a new direction after Butler's departure. As a result, the landscape of the alliance will also change dramatically.
