It's 5.20am here in NZ.. I woke myself up for whatever reason about half an hour ago. I can't get back to sleep after all this Jimmy news! Please good Lord let it happen!!
Multiple trades? Gordon and Chriss + two firsts for Butler and Jones and then Knight, Nene and a first for James Johnson?
Is anyone concerned about JB's health long-term? Didn't he miss many games with Minny last year? How about when he was with Bills?
I can understand this thought process. However I do believe that the Rockets with Harden, Paul, Butler, Capela and Tucker are capable of winning a title and this team isn't going to rebuild.
I think the Rockets could make a play for a shooter like Kyle Korver, maybe Chriss gets routed to the Cavs
The toughness and grit that the team would get from Butler and Johnson might shake them out of their apathy
So is the consensus here that @cyberx's "Let It Ride...." post is about "multiple" trades? A 3-team trade?
You really think a team with 3 of the top 20 players in the league (Harden/Paul/Butler) and excellent role players in Capela and Tucker wouldn't go anywhere? That is a lot of talent and not just on the offensive end. The only thing that would possibly stop them is injuries.
Rockets need to maximize the CP/Harden window. Odd circumstances have been created to make a player of Butler's caliber made available. Rockets have to find a way to close this deal that works for them. Not many of these chances come up.
I think this means that there is no deal and that we should just let the current roster ride... I hope I am wrong
nah i doubt that, he post it let it ride as soon as they posted butler was out and teague was out for tonight, . maybe Cyber means just let it ride (let it develop) the calm before the storm
