(Chron) Confident Rockets lining up deals to land Jimmy Butler

Ok, then f that. I agree with the opt-in scenario. That scenario stinks but it may be more likely.

 

i don't know what's gonna happen in clutchfans if jimmy ends up staying with 76ers...
probably gonna need a group therapy session...

 

@TheSteinLine

Kyrie Irving remains as much a target for the Lakers as Kawhi Leonard, league sources say, now that the Lakers are sure they can open maximum cap space. They are swinging for the fences despite all of the signals that have pointed Irving to Brooklyn ...

 

Morey liked let's get Jimmy comments on ig

 

I'll believe it when I see it. Just a bunch of hot air right now.

 

I'm not in favor of going after Butler if we have to give up Capela (yes he choked against GS, but still top 5 center) and EG (dependable 3pt shooter, defender, and worked well with Harden).

Yes we get to keep PJ, but then to be hard capped and have G League / BIG3 players to fill out the rest of the roster?

No thanks, Morey.

 

Yeah man I can't recall anytime that CD went onto Instagram or had a reporter tweet any news about signing Matt Maloney for a max deal. CD was soooo good at keeping leaks off of social media back then. Morey could learn a thing or two by making the world forget the internet exists.

 

Yeah , team building wise that would be ideal ….

Sure would make the math a lot easier & you could keep Capela and avoid the hard cap.

The question is if Jimmy Buckets will give them that option.

 

I want this to happen quite badly, more than Lebron to the Rockets. TBH though i feel this is heading down a Bosh Trajectory rather than a CP3 trajectory. Jimmy should have been somewhat vocal if he really wanted to come here. CP had many reports coming out days before that he was heavily interested in Rockets. So far its been all Morey talking. Rockets must must be looking at other FA with the MLE otherwise this season will have started off with all of our coaches fired, 3 of our players on the trading block and more fireworks

 

Is Morey going to give him an iPad!

 

Is this real?

 

Setting expectations real high here. Gonna be tough if we don't get him.

 

Nah, you just learn to relax and Melo out.

 

Morey has been talking? Don't rely on what your reading. 99% of the stuff is either slanted articles that have biased agendas or just SAS, Broussard, Max etc with clickbait headlines. Nobody knows anything right now.....except maybe Bima.

 

Nah, I don't have any insider knowledge. I'm just making educated guesses based on certain scenarios and the cap rules that affect those scenarios.
