"Houston has to include Eric Gordon to get Butler deal done"-Woj on SC

Now This is reasonable or Throw in Nene as well

 

We can't lose Gordon if the goal is to contend for the championship. This would be a lateral move. We wouldn't improve enough to really have a shot at beating GSW.

 

Rather have dieng than Gibson

 

Morey is desperate.

His scrubs are not outperforming their contracts.

 

Never mind just saw the contract lol

Sounds like they are negotiating in the media. This is just the Wolves counter offer... which is a no if it's just Butler coming back

 

True!

 

Butler and Gibson, assuming they were part of a deal including Gordon and multiple 1st round picks, are both expiring contracts, right? That's a hell of a risk. Jones was mentioned as another possible thrown in from Minnie, and his rookie deal is also an expiring contract. Don't know if he'd be a restricted free agent or not.

This is all pretty freaky. Lots of noise, though. Perhaps that means something serious is going down.

 

Isn't the idea to resign Butler? Obviously Tilman has to open his wallet wider but Can't see Butler turning down an extra year of pay that only we (if we do trade for him) can offer.

Unless he's just that hellbent on playing in LA/NY that he doesn't care about the extra year.

 

Ill take Butler for Gordon and 4 firsts, As long as the wolves throw in KAT.

 

Done. Switch a first to a second.

 

I was not under the impression that Gordon and four #1s was the floor. If that’s the case then there has to be more coming back to the Rockets than Jimmy.

 

Yeah, you get the right to take back Gorgui Dieng.

 

If EG is included than the deal has to shrink to two first rounders. No way can we get rid of EG AND 4 firsts.
I think 2 + EG is better than 4 1sts. Who knows what could happen in the next 7 years. Remember 2005? Second year of Yao/McGrady EVERYONE got hurt and we won like 30 games.

I like EG, but Butler would provide a little bit more, and he'd bring more defensive intensity.

 

Pass, to steep.

 

Thibs is ridiculous. My phone autocorrected thibs to this. Both are true.

 

That’s a lot of picks to not have to give up Tucker.

I imagine this ends up being something like Butler and Taj for Gordon, Chriss and the picks.

If Knight can come back to the player he was then I really like our lineup.

 

Woj just throwing this out so in case it does happen he looks good.
I’ll wait for the Sham bomb on the 31st of October
