    I’m in camp “depends on the protections” for JB...I’d give up Ego and 3 unprotected 1sts for Butler without hesitation if that got a deal done assuming there’s been assurances that Butler would re-sign here...or maybe make the 3rd pick top 7 protected

    I understand why Minny doesn’t want those 4 picks when we’re handing them Knight and Chriss as well

    Cyberx (I believe? maybe ch44, maybe Cod, but I think it was cyberx) wrote weeks ago that the Rockets went directly to the owner about a Butler trade.

    I thought they might try to get Butler to play against Golden State, being a "Big Game", while we the Rox cannot afford to go short-handed these two games with Harden likely still out.

    Butler needs to keep holding out. He can’t continue and play occasionally

    I know this. You know this. Yep, we know. But as my co-worker from Minnesota tells me, "National TV game, Butler's playing."

    Me, I want Butler to stay "sore".

    Whenever Butler is dealt, Minnesota is hell-bent on moving off the salary of Gorgui Dieng, league sources told The Athletic.

    A few weeks ago Houston called up to six teams, looking for a third partner to facilitate a deal in some fashion, league sources told The Athletic. However, nothing materialized and negotiations went back to square one.

    -----


    They’ve explored a deal in the past, and it’s a deal Houston could get done now if it wanted to, but currently adding someone like J.R. Smith is lower on the totem pole of priorities. Smith’s deal currently pays him $14 million, but is only partially guaranteed for about $4 million in 2019-20. League sources view the Butler saga as a domino effect, meaning once it is resolved, it will set off a number of deals around the league.

    General Soreness to the rescue, bringing his cavalry charge of complaints to the battle.

    Keep in mind, General Malaise is closely related to General Soreness, too.
