Jimmy Ennis Jimmy Harden Jimmy Butler. Rockets Need MOAR Jimmy! (but don't rustle my jimmies and not get this deal done)
Mike is spot on . If we are giving up a key piece in Eric Gordon ... it kinda defeats the purpose of giving up 4 first rounders . 4 firsts is an all in type of move ... and when you give up Gordon , even though you are getting butler , it cripples you a bit . If min doesn't wanna do the deal then fine , I'd rather use knight , Chriss and the 4 firsts to get some extra help elsewhere . Like Chriss , knight , and 2 firsts for bazemore ...etc
Then it's Gordon and 2 firsts for butler ? But all of our fists aren't equal. Either way . You can't give up Gordon and 4 firsts for just butler . That's actual insanity . Knight Chriss and 4 firsts for him is insanely ballsy and totally all in ; but not quite actually insane . MIN not taking knight , Chriss and 4 firsts IMO is borderline insane . It's complicated because the coach is the GM , but hell . Miami is not going to make a better offer . Philly , if they offer fultz, is he really that good ? If you do knight , Chriss , and 4 firsts mins own first will probably be high this year , you can take that 23' or 25' first and trade up even further .
You can do Gordon/3 protected firsts, then is more feasible for Tom T. But it is not good for Tilman.
Getting butler period isn't good for Tillman financially ..... Unless , our profits from winning are huge .
