The title is a Harden joke don't take it personally

Miami Heat’s Perspective: • Why they do it: Miami gains significant depth and youth to remain competitive in the long term. Dillon Brooks adds tenacious perimeter defense and scoring as a strong two-way player. Jabari Smith Jr. is a young, high-upside forward who could develop into a star with his size, shooting, and versatility. Jock Landale offers a solid backup big to fortify their frontcourt depth. This move sacrifices Jimmy Butler’s elite playmaking and leadership but ensures Miami stays competitive while building for the future.

Houston Rockets’ Perspective: • Why they do it: Houston accelerates their rebuild by acquiring a proven superstar in Jimmy Butler. His leadership, two-way dominance, and playoff pedigree instantly elevate the Rockets into potential playoff contention. Butler can mentor Houston’s young core (like Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün), helping them develop into more disciplined and effective players. While the Rockets lose depth and young talent, Butler’s impact on winning justifies the move, especially if they aim to compete sooner rather than later.
