Rockets Renew Bid for Butler, offering FOUR first-round picks

Or Option C, we leaked it to pressure Minny into a trade: "What, they won't accept FOUR first rounders? The heck are they waiting for? They must not be serious about trading Butler!".

 

IMO that's too much

 

According to the Minn beat writers, 90% of the leaks were coming from the Butler side, so this could be Butler camp putting that pressure on Minn front office

 

Uhhh, someone correct me I'm wrong, but I dont think this is how these picks work actually, this trade spans alll the way to like 2023 and 2025 so those picks could be SUPER valuable for Minny cause we will definitely be spent by then.

 

Bill Murray just went full r****d

 

It’s Gordon and 4 picks guys there is no way we get jimmy for knight Chriss and the picks.

Butler is a top 10 player.

It’s a lot I guess but not really when your trading for one of the 10 best players in the nba.

You got to give to get.

I’m all for it, give them Gordon the picks and Nene or chriss and let’s go.

Grodon is good but butler is light years better.

 

We do not know that, Gordon was not included in the report, not saying its true, but no one knows anything at this point.

 

big 6? Lol.

I only know current "big 5"make this team look like a garbage team now.

You better low your expectation.

 

This place becomes such a negative cesspool when the Rockets lose.

 

I give Morey a lot of latitude on deals because he’s deserved it. But 4 picks and a rotation piece would be tough to swallow.

 

Butler is not 4 first round picks better than Gordon .

In 2023 harden will be 34 . That's not automatically a late first rounder .

 

Only way that makes since is if the 2023 and 2025 picks are lotto protected. This is too damn stupid to be leaked, if it were real, it would already have been accepted.

 

Obligatory Rockets are being used as leverage. Nothing to see here.

 

Minny hasn’t said anything to our offer which is weird. Woj basically only said rockets player talks are fluid

 

Not if they’re waiting for Knight and Chris to become trade eligible.

And y’all realize no trade has ever gone through without being leaked, right?

 

I just wanted to participate in this train wreck 26 page and counting thread

Bring JB home

 

ERIC GORDON will not be part of the trade package if there are 4 picks going out.

I think the Rockets value what Gordon brings to the team and they know they need him if they are to compete with GS.

I think the four picks is incentive to take on a poopoo platter player like Knight and Nene and young filler..... and then build towards the future.

Minny sucks and have no chance with whatever they got and whatever they will get from Butler from any other team.

I think this will be the best they get.

I love it as they dont trade Gordon and get butler in the fold.

We will be just as good as the Warriors. Will just have to put it all together.

 

Risking the future for a rental? PASS!

 

Butler wants to get paid max but rockets can't do it, so it's likely a rental.

4 picks for a rental is moronic

 

I understand that but plenty around here are dancing around like it’s knigh and Chriss with the picks.

Imo it’s a lot more likely it’s Gordon and the picks. Just makes a lot more sense.
