In the free agency period of 2019, the Houston Rockets were willing to make all moves necessary to acquire Jimmy Butler, but the All-Star turned them away.
While the Houston Rockets mull over what they can possibly do to improve next season, the one that got away is now on his way to the NBA Finals. When Jimmy Butler hit the open market last summer, he was one of the most coveted free agents in the league. While several teams believed they had a chance at the star, the Rockets were one of few teams willing to give him everything he wanted.
