    Silver Lining: The Rockets are undefeated when they do not lose.

    Wolves fans on realgm basically don't give a **** if Butler lands here, they just want the best deal for them, seems like they're smarter than the Wolves front office.

    Butler's plan is going to NY. The rockets owner just can not afford to pay four max players (three and a half) without a chance to win a title.

    Yep. My Minnesota-born coworker is a Wolves fan and he's pretty much the same. Take the four picks, go from there.

    CP3 contract could waste Hardens prime.

    I don’t post much as you can see by my numbers and I’ll probably get flamed by all you basketball gurus out there but, the way I see it is..... Thibs and Taylor aren’t interested in trading with the Rockets making us a Super Team. Oh they would trade with us if we gave them the keys to Ft Knox’s gold ( Gorden + Tucker + 4 firsts while taking Dieng and trash ) The Wolves will drag this out into December hoping for a “better deal” from someone while leaving us in limbo and our current roster situation (and more losses). P e r h a p s.....it’s time to cut bait and fish in another lake to pursue other players that can solve our current shortcomings. You gurus surely have other players in mind that you feel can “fit” We may need to look beyond Butler for greener pastures.....who knows, once the Wolves find out that we are seriously looking elsewhere, they may change their price but, then again they might not. Not sure they can screw in a light bulb let alone run a decent basketball organization.

    That's actually pretty incredible because usually fans expect "too much" in these low leverage trades. The fact they are "beaten into submission" with the Wolves malaise sure is something.

    They are also undefeated when they score 1 pt or more than the opponent.

    What if we tried to trade for Jimmy Butler?

    Not to be funny but where have you been the last few months to come up with this logic that maybe we should trade for Butler......

    Lol the ones getting screwed in all this is the twolves. More they wait, the package goes down. Thibs is getting canned if they land only 1 first rounder for JB

    General Soreness is questionable.
