    I guarantee Houston is not on the list, because you know, we usually aren't. Lol. If we are on the list, it will likely be fake news as well.

    IMO these are the 3 teams.

    He loves Wade. They are boys. Wade has probably sold him hard on Miami lifestyle, the organization, etc. He's coordinated with two guys pretty openly before; Kyrie and Wade.

    they may be close but an extension doesn't make sense in his scenario and they're at two completely different stages of their career

    I'd bet against us being on the list personally but you never know.

    Could see some combination of Miami, Lakers, Celtics, Knicks.

    Notice that he said "one-to-three teams" and NOT "three teams"? :confused:

    What if he only gave them 1 team that he would be willing to sign and extension or resign with? H-TOWN BABY! :p

    If Miami is on the list they could do something. They could easily build a package around Winslow as the prime piece.

    Hope Butler gave them this list:

    1. Rockets
    2. Team with shitty assets
    3. Team with shitty assets

    If Miami really is on his list, then all that noise about Jimmy really “caring” about winning, is bullshit.

    I may be wrong, but based on what i’ve observed from Butler, he cares more about being a celebrity than positioning himself to win. If that’s really the case, Miami, LA & NYK are probably his 3 teams.

    Nothing. I wouldn’t do this trade. It doesn’t make sense for us.

    Packages will all depend on which way Thibs and the Timberwolves are heading. They made the playoffs last year and knowinf Thibs they are looking to win...not rebuild. So obviously they will be looking for win now assets...not rebuilding.

    Also...does Butler want to win or play on his own team?

    If he wants to win, I just don't see any other teams that are in winning situations that have the pieces other than the Rockets package of Gordon and Tucker. I doubt the Rockets even have to give up a first.

    If he chooses or really listed Miami as one of the teams, then he is not serious about winning a championship right now. They are not building a contender this year or next. So I'm not going to believe this tweet for the moment. And like someone else said, going to play with Wade on his last leg on the way out because he is your boy, is not about winning a championship.
