    He is worth the max.

    He isn’t Harden, Leonard, Durant, Curry, Giannis, LeBron, Davis... but he is in the group right below them.

    He is an excellent defender. He is extremely physical and makes his match up physically pay for trying to score. He is skilled enough to guard 1’s and physical enough to defend 4’s.

    “Jimmy” is Windy code for Double cheeseburger with a side of a single cheeseburger and “Houston” is code for Windy’s stomach.

    I can't wait for the agonizing disappointment when he re-signs with Philidelphia. Will be a fun read.

    So you can't wait and actively root for a situation that is bad for the Rockets team and its fans? Well aren't you a steaming pile of **** masquerading as a human being.

    Lol! The idiots that post this stuff. The one guy saying Morey has only had three big acquisitions.....I guess acquiring elite NBA talent is pretty easy. Morey needs more all-stars on this roster. There is no reason we shouldn't be able to sign Durant, Butler, Kwahi and while we're at it...let's get Ariza, P.Bev and Rivers back on the cheap.

    The commitment that I am speaking of is any interaction at all. Just from a simple matter of perspective. We have no cap space and should have no contact with any max FA whatsoever. No other team in our position is even thinking something like this could be possible. All other teams either have cap space or may be losing players and replacing.

    I am not basing this on any media figure but on the continued interest from Morey based on feedback from the players specifically Harden. This goes back to last summer no matter what the media says. We should have NO discussion whatsoever about Butler or even be on the radar. It’s ludicrous under any other circumstances. We hear virtually nothing right now regarding the Knicks, Nets, and Clippers that were linked to him for FA. Hell Philly expects to lose him and they have the inside track every team wants with a FA. I don’t know that from the media, I know it from the Harris trade.

    Again I don’t put any faith in this happening but if you step back from everything and get out of the Rockets bubble nothing that we are hearing makes any sense unless there is something there. If I was a Nets fan I would look at the reports and wonder if everyone is smoking something and wonder why they were not talking about him going to Brooklyn to join Kyrie.
