    Didn't realize Jimmy has only had 2 seasons where he's played 70+ games. But then again we took a gamble on EG whose injury history was worse and he turned out to be an incredible pickup. I just don't wanna have anymore nightmares of us closing out the playoffs with Harden lone-wolf'ing it for the 7th year in a row.

    I just can't see the Wolves or a third team need and value Tucker more than we do. If they somehow just want good veteran players like Tucker, we should use an extra future 1st to find them one from a third team.

    One reason I can see us trading Tucker is that we plan to roll with Harden+Paul+Capela+Butler (on extension)+completely veteran minimum/rookie contracts for the coming years, and don't expect to afford even a penny more. Then we can probably avoid repeater tax while keeping Butler, and therefore decide to trade Tucker sooner rather than later to preserve a future pick.

    Gordon is all star level and you don’t win anything without Tucker.

    I don't think jimmy butler was typed large enough in size. Who are you talking about again? and yet again I'm still waiting.

    Also looks like you were so excited to be dramatic that you read Tucker was part of a championship team.

    You're calling stuff dumb when you should look in the mirror first and actually calm down from being a dramatic queen

    "literally every team that has won the title since he came into the league has done so without him."
    how stupid is this. LMAO. So going by your logic who has Jimmy Butler won a championship with? GS? Clev? SA? Boston? Miami? Your dramatics has caused you to post incredibly bad. try again when you calm down

    Does this mean "cave" or does he mean that Thibs may have to get fired first?

    The more they use Boogie - just opens up our ability to utilize CC more - I'll take that offset... I believe CC is better than a post injury Boogie... but we will see...

    lol I like how every offseason, the hype builds but it amounts to nothing.

    Butler is a diva. I think he's most likely heading to Miami.

    I only know that JB got a bigger ego than PJ or Gordon, maybe both.

    If that is good for the team, we shall see.

    no, i'm saying how can a player with zero championships to his name possess so many "championship-level contributions and qualities... what i'm saying is that in typical homer fashion you are overvaluing our current role players. i'm also saying that morey does not bc he knows guys like tucker are more or a less a dime a dozen and easily replaceable.

    Ego and Tuck combined couldn’t have this type of impact

    still, I hope any deal doesn’t have to include Tucker because our starting lineup would be perfect

    oh if you watched what PJ did when putting the GS on the brink of elimination you would know the answer. Obviously you didn't watch or just didnt understand what you were watching.

    Once again, so dime a dozen you say. Please name these replacements that dont make the Rockets worse. you can type a bunch of bs answers but without actual context it means 0

    People should be excited if we get Butler, but also need to temper down their expectation.

    This off-season the forum has been littered with delusional posts.

    I am actually a fan of Butler. I like 2 way players. But JB is not a superstar that people are making him out to be. Yes he is better than PJ and Gordon individually, and yes, he could be better for the team vs both of them combined (but no guarantee because as I said, Butler is not a top tier superstar that is a surefire), BUT NOT as the team is constructed as of now.

    The quality of our depth against the Warrior will be severely impacted and thats what did us in last year.

    We actually have the formula to beat them. Tough, aggressive,high intensity physical defense for 48 minutes. But for that you need quality depth, and we would be sacrificing it with this move. Yes, this could be addressed in the future, but it is NOT a guarantee.

    And until thats addressed, we are not winning against the Warriors in a seven game series. Stop being delusional.

    PS. People are severely underestimating how Gordon's range opens up the perimeter and the lanes for both CP and Harden drives.
