I wrote my thoughts on the aftermath of the failed Butler pursuit for Forbes yesterday. So what’s next now for the Rockets? Do they use the same slew of picks to target other options? You’d think they almost have to, when considering they were past the point of hedging on the future the second Chris Paul inked his four-year deal this past summer. The challenge though, as I wrote on my Forbes page, is that few options represent the near panacea which Butler would have been. Kevin Love and the likes would help, but no other player available could have lifted Houston on both sides of the ball in a potential rematch with Golden State the way Butler could have.
What’s next after failed Butler pursuit?
