    This is why u don’t let the coach also be President of Basketball Ops. Thibs still wants to keep Butler. That’s so stupid.

    maybe Glen Taylor can be fleeced in negotiations

    I think JB would show up unless Glen Taylor tells him to stay home.

    I appreciate Gordon and Tucker for their work. I hope those two make the best out of being in Minnesota.

    Do they like fleece in Minnesota? Seems like goretex would be more appropriate and I’ve never seen Prince in fleece:confused:

    Im against giving up PJ or Gordon for Butler...Morey needs to chill, the team we have now is good enough to win it all. Morey needs to simmer down.

    Morey needs to simmer down? LOL

    We're in an arms race. Our window is now. AND, Butler is exactly what we need..a premiere two way wing player.

    I love EG, but he's at maximum efficiency playing his role...any more greatly heightens the risk of injury for him.

    And while Tucker has been great, he's certainly replaceable.

    Butler has talent comparable to Paul George..

    You make that deal every day.

    If we stay eg3 and tucker, we can use tucker to guard durrant and put Antony in 4th. I am also fine with no trade. Actually we can,sign dwade and put him as small forward

    Under contract with the Grizzlies and the Rockets kinda sorta have a center ... unless you agree with 'holic, then they don't.

    who knows what Memphis will be asking for him if he’s ever officially on the trading block

    Agree to disagree
    Getting Butler without giving up 2 core members, Im ok with, but not for our top defender (all positions) and our 6thman.

    Butler cant guard all positions, and is not instant offense...

    The team we have right now can beat the warriors or anybody else, to achieve that is to keep cp3 healthy and get a back up pg just in case.

    Lets not go back to the days when Morey was trading players every year and the rockets had the reputation of players being trade bait.

    Do you not know who jimmy butler is? Serious question. Jimmy butler is one of the best defenders in the league and way more of an offensive threat than eg can ever wish to be,

    We can replace him with Jamal Crawford still fa

    Tucker and Gordon for butler and Crawford basically. You are a fool to turn that opportunity down.

    Jamal crawford needs to retire. That’s still trading 2 for 1

    You got it a tad wrong. GG moves into the ego role. No need for old man Crawford and more luxury tax.

    Basically its butler+gerald > ego+tucker.

    Butler is a Cancer.. it's going to be problems if he comes here and he'll bolt regardless if we gave the cap space to resign him or not!
