    We'll see. They sat him on a B2B before. But that is it.

    Wolves have 2 games before Oct 31st. They DO play on Oct 31st though.

    Would someone explain to me how Butler fits here? He obviously doesn't start instead of Harden or CP3. I can't imagine him coming off the bench. I don't get it.

    This would be great sarcasm, but in case you being serious.

    He is a bigger perimeter guy. I am still not a fan of his. He is basically shorter Paul George, shorter in wingspan.

    They basically concede that the Melo signing was a mediocre one and not the third star they were looking for.

    I have a hard time believing Melo's touches and minutes increase with Butler's arrival although he is viewed as a 4.

    Imagine a younger Ariza with better defense and a threat to score while not dribbling the ball away.

    He is everything else than Ariza. Ariza was a lanky defender. Butler has short arms, but moves his body well. Get to the right place.

    He gets you steals as well but he isn't the gambler Ariza was.

    A very different defender. Much better on Offense.

    His contract is damning though.

    He is 6'8" and strong as a ox. Super versatile.

    You are the one misunderstanding why I said Houston cant.

    Butler is looking for a $140m/4yr to $188m/5yr max contract which is about $35-40m per year. With Harden, cp3 and capella contracts, adding butler on max would bury Houston in luxury tax for the next 4-5yrs. That would likely cripple the roster and make adding supporting pieces almost impossible.
