you know, they were comfortable talking about Jalen in trades and star hunting. And I mean, names like Devin Booker, if he broke freeze, Ian Williamson, you know, they have been looking for seemingly more reliable offensive options.

And Jalen, as much as they love him, there's just a little bit, I think still of a, you know, it's something beyond a trial period, but I think it's still, you know, the relationship is evolving. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. And to your point, Xena, like last night, you saw Kaminga like in real time audition. You know what I mean? Yeah. I was like, please don't trade me. I'm going to be the guy right here. I'm going to take the torch from Steph. You know, that's happening, you know, with every game.

So the Houston side, again, you're only as good as what you're being told right now. But from folks who definitely know, the interest in Jimmy Butler does not seem to be very strong, if really at all. And that does check out with their organizational messaging has been consistent going back to last year.

where they've drawn a pretty distinct line between possible targets in terms of players who were in their early 30s or even late 20s. It seems like even future Hall of Famers like Jimmy Butler, Kevin Durant, they do not appear interested in 34, 35 plus players.

And that's why I think when Jimmy's name is crossing their desk right now, and I'm not the only one reporting this, but, you know, that the indications are that's highly unlikely. And that's why, again, I go back to Devin. Devin's a guy that no signs that Devin wants out of Phoenix. But if he ever did, my God, the Rockets would be at the front of the line and a lot of other teams. Yeah.
