    in before a @Codman tells us some riddle that we have no clue what it means
    in before Kelly Iko says something and @Clutch immediately responds "nah"
    In before we get a legit article saying we have no chance and we call it a media conspiracy, myself included

    Rocket fans want Melo or Lebron (both want ball, promises it will work) but says no to Butler who’ve I’ve never Heard or seen any reports about him needing/wanting ball in hand. Having 3 elite ISO guys makes it even harder on a defense when we use the PnR. 3 different opportunities to expose a mismatch

    Playing iso ball to create for yourself and others worked fine. Playing iso ball to take a contested jumper or shot in the paint did not work well against GS.

    Remember we are only talking about GS. We're firmly ahead of every team assuming we retain Capela and use our exemptions.

    Don't worry everyone; Leonidas is coming but the price to pay is not gorgui-ous. Talks about Morey winning the L(otto) is happening as well.

    That's Ryno. He's now in full hot-potato mode whenever the ball comes his way.

    I think having another guy that can handle the ball, create his own shot, and create for others would do wonders for us

    Jimmy Butler can consistently get u 20 + points, plus he’s a good defender...we always looked unbeatable whenever Ariza managed to drop even just 15 points

    wow, this is a nice piece of intel. Dieng's contract is really bad; averaging $16 mil over the next 3 years for very mediocre play.

    Ryno lights it up at Target Center. Their fan base might actually be cool taking him

    Cod’s sig says Phoenix, Milwaukee, Sacramento, and Atlanta are cleaning house. Can PHX still absorb a bad contract? They have a glut of young talent in the same position among Warren, Bender, and Chriss. Maybe they help facilitate Jimmy to Houston?

    We might be raising a banner in November if he had another ball handler this year... ‍♂️

    Red Auerbach said it best.. at the end of the day you put the best talent you can on the floor and let talent figure out how to play together. Harden, CP3 and Jimmy want to win, high IQ players and work their asses off in the offseason. Wade and LBJ wasn’t supposed to work and neither was KD in Oakland. Close mouths don’t get fed.. gotta make something happen

    He's a good iso player but not elite. Here's some Points Per Possession (PPP) in isolation for comparison purposes.

    J. Butler: 0.93 PPP
    E. Gordon : 0.99
    C. Paul : 1.10
    J. Harden 1.22

    DM just needs to gather assets until the trade deadline, then make a move.

    A little different when our guys have shooters around them when they ISO while Jimmy has to ISO with Wiggins and Taj on the floor. I don't really care for his ISO anyway. He's an all arounder. It's mostly his D that I want.
