Warriors in the dark again after Jimmy Butler's old teammate signs with close rival

Another free agent has been taken off the board for the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, with veteran wing Josh Okogie reportedly headed to a close Western Conference rival in the Houston Rockets.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Okogie has agreed to a one-year, $3.1 million contract with the Rockets after recently finalizing a buyout with the Charlotte Hornets which allowed him to enter free agency.

The Rockets have just added to an already elite defense

Okogie has built a reputation as one of the best wing defenders in the league, with his arrival in Houston coming after the franchise previously signed another noted defender in Dorian Finney-Smith to a four-year, $52.
