    He is all right, but he doesn't play any defense.
    I don't think he can do much for us.

    If this is correct, and it seems to be, the thread should be locked or at least the title changed as it is factually incorrect

    DM should have agreed to the wolves request for ego/tucker/1st.

    we could have replaced tucker at the deadline by trading knight/pick for jamychal Green and garret temple.

    I think had Morey agreed to those two trades we easily win 4 more games this season and finish #1 in the west. we wouldn't face the warriors until the WCF when Durant was out. I think with home court and butler we could have beaten the warriors. I'm not sure if we beat the raptors but its a 6-7 game NBA Finals that can go either way. its enough to convince butler to resign.

    the fact that we didn't have that season just to keep tucker is crazy.

    I don’t think he’s coming, but isn’t one leverage is to make the team think you’re leaving anyway? It makes it easier to trade? He wouldn’t says he’s opting in because he wants to be traded here...

    We are not upgrading talent. We are running it back with some tweaks. We are a good team and if things go right the team as constructed can win a championship.

    Not a good fit for the Rockets, now Bradley Beal would be perfect for our style.

    Rockets never really had a chance.

    Boy from Tomball ain't coming to Houston to be a glorified ball boy for Harden

    No one is stopping Butler from signing with the Rockets for vet. minimum.

    So, you cant say there is NO chance.

    @Bo6 i would not blow up this team. With the dubs looking weaker. Lakers up in the air. The West is WIDE WIDE OPEN

    Seriously. Would have been a near ideal acquisition given his two-way abilities, versatility and affinity for ISO ball.
