    Gordon at the very least is pretty consistent on lay ups.

    Some poster on Wolves RealGM message board just posted this TIFWIW

    https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1754549&start=1440

    Paul Allen from KFAN said this morning on his radio show that his source tells him Butler will be moved in the next 24-72 hours. He named HOU and PHI as the most likely destinations. The only way I can be happy with the reported HOU offer is if Gordon is involved and all four (4) picks have NO protections of any kind. My preferred haul from PHI would be:

    Philly In: Robert Covington ($10.5M), Mike Muscala ($5.0M Expiring), Zhaire Smith ($2.6M), Landry Shamet ($1.7M) & 2019 FRP (PHI)
    (***Could also go Saric ($2.5M) & Bayless ($8.5M) in place of RoCo)

    Minny Out: Jimmy Butler ($20.0M)


    C KAT/Dieng/Patton
    PF Gibson/Tolliver/Muscala
    SF Wiggins/Smith/KBD
    SG Covington/Okogie/Shamet
    PG Teague/Rose/Jones

    in what world can the rockets compete with Philly's assets? No way our carny/circus act of protected picks is more appetizing to Philly than bonifide young talent. Also, is anyone else having a hard time dealing with the fact that Covington could be the centerpiece Philly uses to get Butler? lol

    Minny is ******** the bed the should just get Butler out of there... the longer this goes on the more KAT gets pissed off and then your just going to end up having 2 disgruntled players that want to be traded.

    4 picks with no protections and Gordon is by far a better trade for Minny.

    Depends on the assets Philly is willing to yield. Which might fluctuate with whether Butler would agree to stay in Philly. Which would be possible if Philly is willing to pay him.

    Could be Butler or a 3-way trade (with a nod to Codman's belief).

    I can see this. If their asking for all of our picks, we gonna need Taj in the deal. It should work with just 3 picks though. We may need one of those picks in case we have to move Chriss or someone later down the line

    I mean, lol have you ever heard of those other guys besides Covington?...or Saric being the main piece? No one has ever heard of those guys they are offering. Mike Muscula? Zhaire Smith? Those guys are barely in the rotation in Philly and they are being givien with role players being a center picece, yea I would say our offers are better.
