    Trading Pj is out of the question or EG we don't need Jimmy butler. EG and Tuck could get physical with taller players on the switch like durant. Jimmy B is a good defender but if somebody like Harden isn't giving his fullest defensively he pouts he doesn't make his teammates better

    Immediately after Kawhi got to Toronto I said the Raps should try and use their remaining assets (OG, Siakam) to include in a package for Jimmy Butler.

    I think if he does end up getting traded he ends up in Toronto.

    Hence the need to include Tucker and Gordon.

    Nah man, I'm not cool with this. EG and Tucker is too much, you can have one or the other not both. I'm not feeling it. Yall can say whatever you want, I think we just need an above average wing to compete. Without PJ, team chemistry goes way way down.

    That would be tough to lose both EG and Tucker

    Butler absolutely has leverage. If he is not giving any gurantees about re-signing next year, that reduces the offers Minnesota is going to get. If Butler narrows his list to a few teams he would give this indication to, he clearly has leverage in determining where he goes. Minnesota could lose him for nothing.

    I mean at the end of the day, i’m on board with it, Jimmy’s an all star. Losing Gordon and Tucker is tough though.

    In a perfect world we acquire Butler without giving up Tucker, but if we have to, which lineup do you want with 5 minutes left in a tie game against the Warriors in Game 7 of the WCF:

    CP3
    Harden
    Ego
    Melo
    Tucker/Capela

    or

    CP3
    Harden
    Butler
    Melo
    Chriss/Capela

    He was BORN in Houston. He's lived in Tomball and other places.

    I was wondering if returning to the Houston(or Tomball) area would appeal to him.
