The Houston Rockets signed two key players to extensions this offseason, but one of those players hasn't secured a long-term future with the team yet.

The Rockets, on the other hand, are in a similar situation. Dillon Brooks is their “Thompson” in their way to match Butler’s contract. They’ll also need to throw in Jabari Smith Jr., Amen Thompson, and another player to complete a trade.

The Dallas Mavericks are rolling as of late, winning eight of their last nine games. That one loss was in overtime on the road against the Miami Heat, and Dallas has reportedly been connected to one of their stars in a possible trade.
