Miami will get all the hype news today and tomorrow then Houston will get it all on Tuesday then later that week Jimmy will pick. Go through this bs every year.
Rockets getting meeting early next week is likely just to see if Miami can make the deals to get Butler in a S&T. My guess is HOU has been leaking everywhere because they knew Jimmy’s preference and wanted Philly to know that can top any offer with ease. We will see. If Jimmy ends up meeting with Houston I’d say it means he’s a Rocket. If not, let’s move on.
Wow did Butler officially commit to the Heat already? Or is this “fanbase” overreacting to another Tweet as if it’s gospel for the nth time?
I never expected Jimmy Butler to come to Houston. The rest of the stuff is on Tilman, Morey and Tad Brown. There was no need to leak it.
Ooops... forgot it was a S&T.... Miami limited in how much salary they can have so it is more than just the trade parameters. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/miami-heat/cap/
Trueee Minnesota is a cold cold place my friend. Miami is warm place with even hotter chicas! Can’t blame the guy. But he doesn’t care about winning if he picks Miami.
There's a reason that he's quiet. I don't think any Miami offer to Philly is better than ours. E.G. is a smooth slide into Philly.
No commitment yet. Just smokescreen treatment. For all we know, he might spurn both of HOU/MIA and go to one of the LA teams.
Exactly. Morey is not worried about Miami and neither should we. It's all a process. Jimmy is enjoying his moment.
Derek Bodner: With JJ Redick leaving, the #sixers can make a potential Jimmy Butler sign and trade while being an under the cap team, meaning Butler would not be subject to the BYC rules. Functionally, this means two team deals with either the Rockets or Heat would be possible now. – via Twitter DerekBodnerNBA
