Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets have been involved in trade talks, and could they help each other in this scenario?

While the Cleveland Cavaliers have been heavily involved in trade talks concerning superstars Jimmy Butler and Paul George, the solution to their problems might be right in front of their eyes.

The Rockets, while not having any great reason to deal these two players, are looking to sign a big name free agency this offseason, and they need the cap room to do so. Each team is a contending team, and they are just looking to improve their already excellent squad. With that said, some might think Houston is getting robbed, but they are just looking forward to free agency.

The deal might need a third team to offer even more cap relief for the Rockets if applicable. This trade seems like something that could happen, but like I said, the Rockets might definitely be looking for a bit more.

Well, without further ado, let’s check out what the trade is.
