    This is a joke!!! Seems like Riley just rushed everything last minute. Philadelphia could easily just back out of it.

    if nobody helps Miami, I can see Butler telling Philly "well, I tried, but I'm going to LA"

    He would've been by his lonesome self in Miami. I doubt he cares if nobody came to LAC, he wants to be the top dog, not someone's sidekick

    Im sure thats why we havent went after any guys. No hard feelings if their deal broke down. I respect someone wanting to be the #1 option. Still think they get it done but never say never.

    Don't get your hopes up, he wants to be in Miami and he'll be in Miami, if for some reason they won't be able to find a taker for Dragic he'll probably take less money or sign with L.A.

    Is the Rockets meeting still in place? Have the iPads been sent back the West Hollywood Genius Bar?

    I can't believe Butler would schedule a meeting with his "good friend" James Harden and just sign with Miami. That a pretty disrespectful friend.

    With all the basically tampering leaks of contracts being brought up way ahead of FA, I'm thinking Butler probably let harden know hopefully, but who knows.

    If Harden knew, he would have told Morey just like he did with KD. This is why everything feels so strange. Clutchfans insiders were go, @KellyUnchained (Kelly Iko) was go. Then Jimmy immediately wants to sign with Miami night one of FA. Miami wasn't ready at all and botched all the contract maneuvering. It's so ridiculously fishy.

    Just was listening to Bill Simmons podcast and his buddy house asked...”Is there anyway Kawhi can go to Houston?” Simmons said no and dismissed it right away saying Harden would habe to be involved.

    Any one else I would close the book on, but for some reason there is a .00001 in me that says he is a weird dude. I have seen some all star clips with him and harden having fun. (Nothing serious). I just want to put it in the universe.

    Keep the pipe dream alive!

    I know it ain’t happening and I need to take my sleep deprived self to sleep. No sense in staying up to see if Dragic gets moved.

    Kawhi studied tape on harden when he was with the Spurs.

    They didn't have a welcoming committee and a meeting, they put all of their eggs in the JB basket.

    So even if the city of Los Angeles never existed, Raptors are still the favorites to re-sign him, more than the Rockets.

    Jimmy’s deal to the heat will get done. That’s that.

    So how good is Josh Richardson in terms of shooting?

    Sixers didn't lose that much, they just give Tobias a more prominent role, and let Embiid close out.

    Shooting is the most they lost.

    Probably right, Riley probably came into the meeting and dumped his championship rings on the table, and said "Butler, you can be the head of our next big 3", or something like that... Haha

    I guess Jimmy Crackcorn and D.Union are closer.
