I like Butler as I think he has a lot of valuable traits he could bring to the Rockets. But the Rockets can't afford to run more ISOs and the PNRs stay with Harden and Paul. This team thrives on moving the ball and engaging its shooters. If he's persistently demanding touches like he is in Philly, then Houston isn't the right place for him.
