Lou Williams unhappy with trade rumors: 'I love being in Houston'
Much to Lou Williams' chagrin, he could be on the move again.
Just an hour after a report surfaced that the Houston Rockets have put him on the trading block, the combo guard took to social media express apparent dismay.
Uh Oh lol

Williams joined the Rockets in a trade-deadline deal and fit seamlessly into Mike D'Antoni's system, even raving about the offense. It seemed the 30-year-old finally found his home following stints with four other clubs, but against his own wishes, he could be heading to club No. 6.
Wrong. I love being in houston. For the record. https://t.co/1P8z0wFOlQ

It's believed that Houston likes the veteran, and the other reported trade chips in Patrick Beverley and Ryan Anderson, but general manager Daryl Morey is trying to dump their salaries so he can land a star in free agency.
Beverley responded to Williams' tweet with laughter.
