    No, but the way Morey talks about Tucker, he definitely thought he was an invaluable player on this team, just like the rest of this forum.

    Alright, I will have to come to Daryl's defense here, this is nowhere near as bad as the Net's situation, not at all.

    BKN also thought the same.
    Unfortunately we are in even higher risk because we don't even have the big market or the crazy spending owner.

    This doesnt prove your point though? Neither does a 4 game sample size. I'm sorry man, but just let it go.
    But we have players in their prime, BK does not.

    With James and Butler in prime, we will be solid for another 4 years minimum...with the ability to add more. Lets go All in!

    This is nothing like Nets, bc we are not trading for player past prime.

    Tbf the Nets traded for Garnett, Pierce and Terry when they were already washed up, pretty sure they were around 34/35 at the time, Butler is 29 like Harden, Paul is 33 like PJ, Gordon is 29, Capela 24...aside for possible protections on the picks, i say they would be different situations, that trade for the Nets made no sense whatsoever cause they traded for washed players in the first place.

    I agree, but 4 1sts is an insane amount of picks for Jimmy “Tomball” Butler.

    I don't want to be a Cassandra but..our championship window even with Butler might not be as long as you think. Prime is a funny word with different durations. Some players with ton of mileage and pgs, tend to have shorter primes...

    This woj bomb sounds like it was leaked from Minny's side, and not the actual offer that Morey made.

    Are you hearing that the proposed offer in the woj bomb is Minny's wish list or our actual offer?

    Ok, so you’re going to ignore that dantoni’s quote “Tucker is one of the best players in the league.” Lol.

    its a lot agreed, but have to weigh the potential of those picks to our winning a ship. Our window is limited bc our second best player, CP, is getting past prime. With Jimmy we increase chances now and extend window for another 4 years. For the next 4 years we're contenders injuries aside. As far as fit Jimmy is perfect. hard nosed defender that has elite scoring as well.
    have to make risky moves to achieve. pull the trigger morey

    Fertitta is a big problem

    Now he is desperate
    Shouldt keep Ariza
    and move RA and a 1st for Benzamore
    this trade is 100% worse (4 1st)
    I expect a least we have a promise from Butler to resign with Houston

    What is your point? That he highly values PJ? Oh wait that's my point.
