Woj on Sportscenter "Rockets are recruiting Jimmy Butler hard and might have a deal with him"

This is not gonna happen. Just a lot of hype. And youd have to get the salaries to work, which means losing key pieces of our core like clint and Gordon. I just dont see it. Not to mention...the entire deal depends on Philly.

 

Pacers don't believe their Sabonis/Miles is a great match-up.

 

Real talk: Where is the new news?

 

Is 'unlikely' the equivalent of the '2 yard line'?

 

I think you go ahead and lose Clint/Eric for Jimmy. We tried our current roster a couple of times and we haven't won a championship. It's time to move on from certain players. I get that Warriors are not going to be healthy next year, but that doesn't matter.

 

Exactly...... 5 years 190 million > Tomball Harden's strippers and 140 million 4 years
Not sure if the Texas no state income tax configures into the comparison bit once again we are being used as leverage.

 

It's what happens when the Rockets front office aren't frauds and liars despite what a lot of fans think here.

 

Why is our future 3rd star risking injury? DO SOMETHING, MAORI!

 

That’s the whole aggressive part. We’re going to up our risk profile. Lol

 

Woj on Philly:

They have to want them all back & want to pay all them. Then the players have to want to play together. Does Tobias want to be the 4th option? Butler will have other options. Redick we don't talk about but he played tremendous basketball.

There are a lot of voices in Philly. Brand is in charge but you have multiple owners. There isn't an easy answer. This will strap them to bring all of them back + Ben Simmons. Butler was the play maker in the playoffs. Simmons is up for a max & isn't taking a dollar less. What's the cost moving forward?

 

When was the last time the Rockets found a third team? "Third team" is just as much of a jinx as Burt's "Tuesday at 5:45".

 

Anyway of parlaying Shumpert into this deal to get Butler? I don't see why Philly would want Capela, so we would definitely need a third team to be involved in a deal with Capela. Shump+Gordon+Nene for Butler?

Can we SNT Shump within a SNT for Butler?




Was it all a dream!?!

 

i don't think that's possible.... a S&T from another team to HOU?

 

Oh it’s happening, like Ron Paul happening.

Your right about salaries/money being a potential issue but don’t be fooled Rockets are willing to ship out everybody not named Paul, harden or tucker

They are obsessed with the “third star”

 

Rockets get: Jimmy Butler and Robert Covington

Twolves get: Clint Capela

76ers get: Eric Gordon, 2020 1st round pick from HOU

 

And then you woke up.

 

I would do it any means necessary including cp3. Harden is my only untouchable

 

Wolves can't help us, we're their rivals remember?!!

 

Losing Capela and Gordon for Butler (especially on a max deal) doesn’t actually make the Rockets better.
