Chron Sources: Rockets aggressively pursuing Jimmy Butler

You think Jimmy and Pimp related?

 

If Boston loses Kyrie …. I could see them taking a shot at SeePee3.

 

I don't, but it obviously depends on what else they would get/trade etc..so, we'll see i guess.

 

I think there is legitimacy to the PHX trade that steddinyato has put out there before of Warren, Jackson, Johnson, and their 1st. I have seen some other sources that there is some desperation in that organization to add some legitimacy now that tanking doesn’t work as well anymore. They don’t want the crop to spoil. To me that trade would be like catnip to Morey with Butler and Beal out there because he could spare using EGo and use up our other assets and Shumpert to Wash and even get back Simmons in a 4 way even disconnected trade. That said I think everything is focused on Butler and not so much CP3 unless something valuable came along.

 

Thanks brother unfortunately the ship has sailed with Phoenix completing a couple of head scratching trades today

 

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been ‘actively exploring’ trade options to dump Andrew Wiggins' contract, per @JakeLFischer

i see you akeem

 

I really think they’ll just go young; probably keep Rozier. Brad Stevens and CP3, I don’t see it.

 

@AkeemOlaDROwon is my nibba

 

Lol I don't....I can see the celtics just building young. That still have 3 first round picks. I think they take bol bol as a protect n still draft 2 other really good player..I low key think kyrie leaving forcing them to just go young was the best thing to happen to team....20 buck say the win the draft tonite n be really really really good next year n for the foreseeable future

 

I don't exactly have a direct line with the great aunt, you know? She and I aren't exactly on a first-name basis.

 

I’m supposed to believe that Morey would take Wiggins over Hayward? And would look to pair Wiggins again with Butler? That went so well before. I don’t know anything but this feels like BS.

 

The Wolves are in engaged in multiple trade scenarios revolving around the No. 6 Pick, per Woj.

 

If that’s the case they are using it to move Wiggins. Smart move.

 

So you’re telling me Morey will come to work in the morning to a turd on the floor of his office?

 

Wiggins sucks but what can you do. If the relationship between harden and cp3 is that bad, and I think it is, then you have to separate them.

Hopefully whatever extra they throw in is worth it

 

You cannot trade for him? That’s a very viable option

 

Morey pls

 

Very funny.

 

butler be like; imma gonna drive thru Houston and post in on IG then go somewhere else
