    I don't know, @basketballrehab sounds a bit too much like a reformed @basketballholic for my taste.

    And to be even more fair.....he still could be right. There’s still a chance we acquire LBJ sometime before he retires on some day at 5:45pm.

    Is it even a good idea to make that deal knowing that Butler would be a 1 year rental?

    Butler would bolt if he is a free agent.

    He wants to play in LA or NY and he wants to be the centerpiece on an elite team.

    At this point I don’t overly care about 2019-2020 and Butler. If the Rockets swing a deal keeping PJ, all you do is trade two years of Gordon for 1 year of Butler (and maybe more).

    You realize you have less than 0% influence on whether Morey trades Tucker, correct?

    It’s important for your mental health that you know that.

    I mean do you think he would have gotten hired by The Athletic, if we have some hack social media journalist.

    One championship is better than none and EG is probably gone in two years anyway. One year of Butler is better than two of EG.

    It was never in question. If he can make it happen, he will make it happen.

    jimmy is a great player, but i dont see any team being "elite" if he is the best player. I'm not sure what he is thinking. the reports are all so conflicting. he says he wants to win, but would sign an extension in brooklyn ? they seem years away and he is 30 (or about to be) and the major players in the east are young and aren't going anywhere for a decade or more. he doesn't want to seem to want to play with lebron ? if he goes to clippers and kawhi comes, its kawhi's team, not his. i just dont understand....but ill take the rental if we keep tucker for sure.

    He is clearly reading Clutchfans, that's basically an exact relay of what Cod just said.

    Random trade idea (i couldn't resist for once)...since ch talked about 3-4 team deals...add a 1st rounder to Minnie, one to SacTown, maybe a 2nd to Phoenix...
