    That isn’t going to work. Cp3 will be another year older. He is already showing decline this year. We Capela a big contract and he’s not even a star. The rockets simply do not have enough. We have to make a move to contend. Other teams will continue to get stronger.

    Finally the rockets can move on. Bazemore? Winslow? What can Brandon knights contract, a couple development players and 4 1st rounds get us?

    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/10/sports/basketball/jimmy-butler-76ers-traded-timberwolves-.html

    The New York Times reported last month that Minnesota had come close to trading Butler to the Miami Heat on at least two occasions in the ensuing month, for a package that included the promising Miami swingman Josh Richardson and a future first-round pick.

    The Timberwolves also rebuffed numerous approaches from the Houston Rockets. Aside from Philadelphia, Houston had been Butler’s most aggressive suitor in recent days, offering four future first-round picks in its latest proposal. But Minnesota owner Glen Taylor and Thibodeau were intent on trading Butler to an Eastern Conference team.

    Ear: Thibs and camp wanted Jimmy out of the West. Our offer was better for the long run. Watch for a greater implosion next.

    The NBA is in the back of my mind....some woman hit my car so hard today that it's totaled. Can't catch a break, like Stromile couldn't catch a pass.

    Bills. Life....

    Yep, Clippers, Lakers, maybe others...that's why i don't think the biggest reason why they didn't trade Butler here was because they wanted him in the East.

    Robert Covington shot 17-64 (26.6%) during the '14 Summer League and was cut by Houston right before the season started. Since Daryl and Sam Hinkie tend to like a lot of the same players (MCW ****), he was picked up by the 76ers and became an important part of this trade. If not, he probably would have bounced around the league without reaching his potential. Who else wanted to play him 30+ minutes a game for three seasons while winning about 19 games a year? Anyway, lock this **** up.

    I don’t doubt cyberx, because I’ve been around the board a long time and have seen him actually drop inside info. Plus, he was co-signed by Clutch.

    But, this Codman guy was just a regular fan who posted here until one day, he and others started calling him an “insider.”

    Until Codman gets co-signed by Clutch, let’s just consider him a fan just like everyone else on this board.

    @Codman is legit and has Clutch’s stamp of approval, too. He has relationships with Nene and Trevor Ariza, along with friends/associates in NBA circles. For your sake, I suggest you stop questioning him. Continuing to do so will not end well for you.

    If he was co-signed by Clutch, then I take it back. I have only ever seen Popeye and Cyberx co-signed by Clutch, so I must have missed it.

    And no needs for threats buddy; who are you anyway. I have been on this board and supporting this site since ‘96, and Clutch knows I support the site.

    I understand how my post could be viewed as a threat, but I was just stating a fact. When someone attacks a well-respected member of a message board for no reason, there will be plenty of blowback.

    As for who I am, it’s irrelevant to the point, but I’ll share anyways. I’m a 35-year-old native Houstonian that is a diehard Rockets fan and has been a member of this site since the 90s, like you. If you check my profile, you’ll see I’ve contributed to the site, too. I don’t post that much because I have more important things to do than spend all my time here.

    FWIW, @Codman has stated on multiple occasions that his sources run in different circles than those @cyberx has.
