Not completely buying this report but will bum me out if he chooses Miami. Riley is a slick closer and apparently Morey is not. Also, he's clearly choosing south beach over winning. Not buying the whole he was blown away by wades retirement appreciation. If butler thinks he's going to win a championship being the top player on his team, he's clearly dilusional. IMO, Wade couldn't even do that; see Shaq and Lebron.
Morey and Harden both are big part of this franchise's huge success. You are ungrateful for what weve had here.
Jimmy has an issue with players not going hard in practice and Miami Heat culture is built around going hard in practice. Perfect match if you ask me. "Who care's if we're a fringe playoff team? We're talking about practice fellas!" - probably Jimmy
Honestly, I am just hoping it is actually official tonight that way Morey can get working on actual players for our team.
Harden to Butler.... I'll dribble for a bit... Pass to you, you pass it back, I'll dribble dribble dribble shoot, you play d, I shoot 3, repeat after me.
yea well technically but when other teams spent last week setting up meetings with every possible free agent while we were busy finding capela replacements in preparation for a butler trade when he had no interest in coming here to begin with...
I'll wait until it's confirmed but if true then ya he's really not about winning and truly just wants to live in a nice/fun city. Otherwise he would have stayed with the Sixers or signed with us. Heat aren't going anywhere any time soon. Another thing though is Heat have to be able to make room for him. If they can't then it doesn't matter how bad he wants to go there.
REAL TALK I knew Rockets will not get Butler as soon as @basketballholic started getting positive and claiming Butler to Houston it is what it is though
