    C'mon, isn't it obvious?

    PJ Tucker, the ultimate Rocket who can never be traded for any reason, has a sore back from carrying all these lesser players like Harden, CP3, Melo and Capela.

    The statement was "no matter how much money an owner has....".

    So based on that, potential revenue is irrelevant.

    Let's not forget Jimmy Butler's injuries, and MASSIVE amounts of minutes.

    It took an injury and some historically terrible officiating for us to not have rings right now. Are we 100 percent certain we are okay with losing 5 players from a championship roster?

    Trevor Ariza
    PJ Tucker
    Eric Gordon
    ---------------------
    Luc Mbah a Moute
    Ryan Anderson

    It's sad because whatever happens I feel like some of you guys are vastly under rating our own players. It's not that I don't like Jimmy Butler, it's the fact that Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker are super studs. Let's not act like they aren't, or forget what happened a few months ago.

    Losing Anderson is addition by subtraction

    Unspectacular stuff: 2 deadlines at play--Jimmy is pushing for his departure to happen quickly. Thibs and Minny are on that United Airlines departure schedule...some agent/team tension.

    More unspectacular: Charlotte has joined in the bidding war. I'm not sure what Minny would want, but Kemba seems obvious. Batum is expensive, but when healthy, he's a solid piece. (I still cringe about what he did to us in the Portland series...I still blame _ _ n).

    i saw that hornets game last nite w/ the local feed and announcers were gushing about how much kemba loves being there and will likely want to re-sign with them next summer. also, batum looked terrible. a good playmaker at his position, but his shooting is so erratic arghhhh. hope you're enjoying your weekend bro

    Charlotte is basically another Cleveland situation. They dont have anything other than Kemba(trading him for Butler is putting themselves in the exact same situation). And Batum?...Gordon is a way better offer than that. What do they have? I really dont think they have anything.

    Alright I think I'm done for now. Ive been on here way too much haha.

    I can easily see Tucker going to play for Thibs and Gordon chucking it up on the Kings...
