Famous: The Rockets need players like Butler, and the team is only a few veterans away from rising

On May 21, Arenas talked about the off-season construction of the Warriors and Rockets in a live broadcast program. Arenas believes that the Warriors need to build a younger lineup around Curry and Cumingga, and trade Butler and Dream Chasing out. Among them, Butler's next homes include the Thunder, Rockets, Magic, and Cavaliers. Arenas believes that among the four teams, the Rockets need tough guys like Butler to allow young players to learn quickly.

Arenas said on the show: "The Rockets need defense and players like Butler. Their forward Jabbarry Smith Jr. and other young people have not fully realized their talents, and they are only a few veterans away from rising." The Rockets' lineup framework has been built, and young players have also shown great potential. This season, the Rockets returned to the playoffs with the second place in the Western Conference, and were able to fight the experienced Golden State Warriors seven games in the first round, which made many people look at them with admiration.

Butler has proved in the past that it is very suitable for young teams. At the Philadelphia 76ers brought young Embiid to the playoffs and in the Timberwolves brought young Towns and Wiggins to the playoffs. Not to mention the Miami Heat, they directly brought a group of second-round picks to the finals and won the praise of tough guys. The Rockets are currently very young, but overall lack a tough spirit. Butler is undoubtedly more suitable for the Rockets, more suitable than Dillon and Van Jordan.

If the Warriors finally choose to give up Butler, the Rockets may be able to claim Butler. The Rockets' young player Amen Thompson may need a tough forward like Butler to guide him so that he can make progress. Butler and Amen Thompson all start with defense and shoot badly, but the baskets Butler trained in the later period.
