    This.

    Although there is one caveat.

    It is possible that the Sixers let Butler know it isn't going to happen with the Heat........ then Butler has to either crawl back to Houston or engage the Clippers or Lakers and sign there.

    Riley actually upgraded the team by swapping Whiteside with Harkless lol

    Give me Dragic, James Johnson and Olynyk for Chris Paul. We open up a good amount of capspace next summer and rebuild.

    So Whiteside + picks for Kevin Love next?

    When Kevin Love looks like an absolute stud in Portland. Remember we probably could have gotten him.

    lol so Josh Richardson and Whiteside turned into Jimmy Butler, Mo Harkless and Meyers Leonard? Pat Riley showing Morey how it's done.

    What i don't understand is why Portland gave up Harkless when they already lost Aminu, sure they got Bazemore, but i don't know...i guess they might use Whiteside huge expiring to get a another wing later in the season.

    Yeah, maybe Love.

    Nurkic
    Love
    Bazemore
    CJ
    Lillard

    Mildly intriguing? Less good than the team I'd expect to put out there, with more upside with Hayward being 2nd star as opposed to Paul- since Heyward is younger he might not be completely washed yet like Paul (but then again, maybe he never gets right).

    So they deal $27,000,000 for two contracts worth about $23,000,000

    This is an interesting decision by the Blazers.

    Yet the Rockets are still 20 wins better than Miami, perhaps more If Jimmy can't stay healthy... :D

    i'm just giving credit to where its due. sometimes you have to give something to get something. other times you find an actual taker for Hassan Whiteside and end up with better depth coming back PLUS a Tomball Jimmy.

    Part of the Butler pitch from Miami was telling Jimmy that Whiteside would be pitched overboard...probably.
