Sources: Rockets have eyes on Jimmy B

So he is leaving because he's frustrated that the T-Wolves don't have any killers, and he wants to join 3 teams with no killers. Got it.

I like the "he's trying to leverage" angle.

 

Kyrie didn’t end up on a team from his original list (Spurs, Heat, Knicks, Wolves), so all hope isn’t lost just yet. Teams still have to put up the assets to get him.

 

id be happy if our organization would turn over the starting PF spot to Joe chee

 

no hate from me for this. this is how the league should be

 

now on to the Oubre thread..

 

He has length but does he have the girth?

 

To expound on this, since I had to at least take a second to think it through.

Butler: "I'm requesting a trade"
TWolves: "Really? But we could trade you to a crappy spot? Why don't you just ride it out?"
Butler: "No problem. Don't trade me then. I'll just sign with the Clips, Knicks or Nets in the offseason, they'll all have money."

TWovles execs among themselves: "Well, he isn't wrong about the cap space. Let's just see what else we can round up and get him moved now before its too late"

So, in short, this could just be leverage to get the TWolves to trade him now, as opposed to waiting longer.

 

Porzingis is legit and its rumored that 1) Jimmy/Kyrie want to team up and 2) Kyrie wants to be a Knick. So the Knicks make sense I guess...but the other two are just hilarious

 

he will not be coming to houston do not get yourself worked up again rockets family. unless an insider says it directly i donut belive it!!!!!

 

Rockets need to trade for him...even if it's just a one year rental! He would put us over the top..Championship guaranteed!

 

Well, that means he *doesn't* want an extension, right? An Extension cannot provide anywhere close to a Max contract. He'd be like $10m/yr off it.

• Sounds like Minny is still demanding the Extension, and Butler is still refusing because it sucks money-wise.
• This would mean Shams "list of teams" refers to teams he'd re-sign with, not sign an extension with.

I'm confused with that "extension" list of teams, then Jon Krawczynski saying this is mainly contract related. An extension sucks for Butler and jives with reason Krawscynski saying it's over and not KAT/Wiggins related.

 

its funny that you try to turn good BASKETBALL DISCUSSION into sexual penis talk. WE ARE NOT GETTING JIMMY BUCKETS!!! but if we do Id like to say @basketballholic called it

 

What could the Knicks give up to get him?

 

Trade for him...he might decide to stay here like Paul George in OKC!

 

Told ya.

 

butler is not a power forward

 

Regarding the Knicks and trading for Jimmy Butler.
