Sources: Rockets have eyes on Jimmy B

They leaked the meeting.

 

They have to be waiting for something like this...can't really comprehend why a team would go through this.

 

They can actually do this deal now, but it would have to be two separate deals.

 

"That's a really good team too, by the way."

I'm 100% naive, but he had no reason to say this if he had no interest in coming here...not sure about no one reporting his interest in Houston, but maybe there's a reason why his camp didn't leak this.

 

Not "was". But still IS a good player. Would be a great fit here in our system as a 4. And Uthoff will one day get his shot and prove himself as a legit NBA talent. Remember Spencer Dinwiddie?

Don't mess with me on players. I'm way beyond you.

 

I think he just said it to cover his ass. As in "ain't no shame in losing to a team like that".

 

His camp only leaked teams with "upcoming cap room."

 

or that we wouldn’t make the playoffs with Capela as our starting C...proceed to win 55 games and almost make the WCF

 

To be fair....that's how I read it as well.

But I wish it to be more...

 

I'm way beyond all of you on players.

Idiots.

 

Yes, we all remember that one time you were correct, because you keep reminding us.

 

hard to think of too many things that have been handled worse than this Jimmy Butler saga...the level of incompetence and foolishness is reaching levels rarely seen

 

Yeah, but Vegas doesn’t give good odds on the safe bets of picking Dwight Howard’s team.

 

Perfect storm of clueless owner, Thibs stubbornness......AND the fact Thibs is Coach AND GM.

 

my point of view,

It has been many days. No team is happy to help us.

We have to make a good offer ourselves to get it done. I am waiting, but nobody has any type of good trade idea to make both team better now and future.

 

Was not the same team. Stay in context.

 

hmmmm jimmy is gonna start the season with the Wolves. I like where this is going and allow us to fully use everyone in the trade. How amazing would it be if the trade of Ryno enabled us to get Jimmy?!

 

I do remember Spencer Dinwiddie. But I also remember you wanting to trade Clint Capela for Thon Maker straight up.

 

I still believe Maker will have a better career. And I still think we need to trade Capela at the first opportunity. And I still think Maker and whomever else we could get for the rest of $15 million we're paying Capela would be better than having Capela.
