    It’s funny because Tucker can guard 1-5 and that really would work

    Would not be my first choice

    Honestly
    I would prefer
    KLove/Thompson/JR for EGO/Knight/Criss/maybe 2 #1s
    allow the Cavs to drop some cost

    Thompson will have to tuck his pride and play with the Wife's Ex

    Harden/CP3/Tucker/KLove/Capela
    With
    JR/Tristan/Green/Clark/Ennis/Harty coming off the bench

    His combination of rebounding and 3 point shooting would be nice. We are horrible in both areas right now. He can finish around the basket too. His injury history is the concern. Also I don’t know if the team can afford to wait until January.

    Yes , Butler solved a lot of the Rockets issues because he's so versatile , you could play him 1-4 on either end. That solves a lot of teams problems ….

    To maximize the Rockets right now , a guy who can give you everything Ariza did last year at the 3/4 spots. Nothing fancy , just shoot well from 3 , rebound some and play good team defense every night. That allows you to push Ennis (or Tucker) to the bench …. Last season we had a multitude of guys at that 3/4 spot who could come in and contribute , this year we have just two.
    Butler fit that description …. and a whole lot more.

    It's alot of salary, but we need another offensive maestro and a guy who can rebound. But, his defense:eek:

    Was for it before then against it and now back for it. Just bcuz this team needs a new dimension to the offense desperately.

    But we can’t give up tucker.
