Sources: Rockets have eyes on Jimmy B

he had a list of his own teams. houston was one of them and was the favorite despite, the public saying different

 

Doesn’t sound like we can assume Thibs has any say in the matter

 

He did, but it wasn’t like he told the Clippers that he wanted to go to any of the teams on his list. He figured out that he wanted the Rockets, then essentially said “I’m signing with Houston, they have deals in place to make the cap room for me. It will benefit both organizations to work out a trade if I opt in”.

Steve Balmer and Jerry West jumped at the opportunity. Balmer and CP3 even had a heart to heart session where CP3 gave him feedback on what his thoughts were on the Clippers organization after he decided to leave.

 

saying he's going to the rockets is essentially telling the clips where he wants to go isn't it

 

You’re right, but I still think it’s helpful to point out the difference between that and Butler’s situation.

 

Well it's pretty much resolved. Butler is being traded whether Tom wants it to happen or not. I would say the situation is pretty much resolved.

 

Captain Obvious I know, I’d love to have Butler.
Bring him home.

 

I don’t follow this logic. He’ll be traded, yes, but how on earth is the situation resolved?

 

The difference is saying he’s going there cuz he has that choice or saying he’d like to go there.

 

Just to be clear, there's not a single source linking Houston to Butler other than ClutchFans, right?

 

that is correct

 

cyberx and Codman should be enough for you. About as legit as it gets.

 

Lowe seemed to believe it as a possibility.

Morey will never die wondering when it comes to adding quality

 

Is there belief Houston would include Tucker in a trade proposal?

 

EGO + 1st + fillers take it or leave it. not including both EGO and PJ
