This needs a poll. Will you give up Tucker for Butler? Tucker has been ballin and seems like the perfect guy for this system...but we're talking about Jimmy Butler. Tough one, I can't even decide.
IB "Oh, Jimmy´s talent is so rare, and bla bla bla". BUT: a) Jimmy has said multiple times he wants the MAX, and he aint getting it here in Houston, so, if he picks his option next year will he just walk? b) Tucker, who is THICC by the way, is the glue between pieces in this team. So HELL YEAH!
There's already a thread for this http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php...-in-thicc-tucker-in-a-deal-for-butler.293511/
I am sure James Harden, our star player, has something to do with this. He and Mr. Thicc are BFFs now.
Cannot trade PJ Tucker or Gary Clark or De'Anthony Melton or Patrick Beverley or Lou Williams or Sam Dekker or Montrezl Harrell or Jeremy Lamb or Kevin Martin or Donte Greene or . . . CAN'T DO IT!
Dang. I would absolutely trade PJ for Butler. 1) We have a ton of depth 2) Even if 1 weren't true, Morey is great and finding role players/glue guys 3) Even if 1 and 2 weren't true, MDA plays a short rotation come playoffs (which is what matters) anyway. Capela Anthony Butler Harden Paul That's a great core to build around for years. With Tuck off the table there is no way we get Butler. Gordon and picks isn't getting it done.
Not to mention there's a distinct possibility that Butler would clash with Harden because of the defense.
