Sources: Butler will be Moreys main target this summer, and he feels fairly confident it will happen

    I can’t see my boy Darnell Morley pulling this off but hope I’m wrong

    Tyson Chandler will be a vet min guy out there
    Javale McGee will be a vet min guy out there
    Robin lopez will be cheap
    Kostya Koufos will be cheap
    Sala mejri will be cheap
    Dedmon will be cheap
    Udoh will be cheap
    Faried will be cheap

    This is just free agents off my head. Its easy to find rebounding at the 5. Relax.

    Edit: quoted the right person but wrong post and I'm too lazy to change it.

    And yes, adding butler does help our forward situation...

    Serious question: Why would the Sixers help us doing a sign and trade or opt in and trade?
    Same question about a third team if it's necessary?

    To get something for nothing if Butler walks, mainly draft picks.

    They could lose him for nothing otherwise and may get good players like Gordon back and whatever a third team offers.

    Third team does it to get Capela.

    It benefits them?

    Say an opt in and trade, rather than lose butler for capspace would they rather have an expiring Gordon and 2 1sts?

    On a SnT, would you rather lose butler for nothing or get assets and a player?

    This is real talk from Williams. He knows that Harden rubs people the wrong way and would only piss Butler off with his antics.

    ok no one is helping us here. They are helping themselves while taking advantage of the fact that we are quite handcuffed.

    If Jimmy opts in. I promise you 1000000% there will be teams lined up to take on Gordon's contract. It may take a sweetener like a future 2nd just because we have no leverage here. I also guarantee Philly will take a Trade Exception if they do not want to take on salary. This also may take a 2nd rounder or even a first to get them to play ball.

    They're best friends seemingly and know each other well. This makes no sense.

    Oh, good, another Harden hater (Jay Williams). Get in line.

    "Antics"?

    Harden and Butler are boys. We might not get Butler, but Butler is more guilty of "antics" than Harden. Anyway, I don't trust these talking heads on ESPN. Like the MVP voters, they're hardly objective.

    Wait really?

    He was the guy who was rated higher than Yao by a lot of draft experts. His career was tragically cut short by a serious motorcycle collision following his rookie year.

    "Tragically", perhaps. Maybe the very young among us don't quite remember him. He was so hyped in college and s** the bed in his one NBA season.

    He was a privileged punk in college. What, nobody saw that a 6'0" PG with no burning drive to succeed at the next level might fail? It sucks what happened but riding a motorcycle is a no-no; I think it was even in his contract that it was prohibited. And then the second-next-to-worst thing happens (the top two being death and paralysis, God forbid).

    They are only friends because they haven't played together on the same team. I'm sure CP3 and Harden were friends before. Now they might not be so friendly towards one another.
