Source: Butler would commit to signing long-term with Houston

“yungcalxulator”

 

Houston is trying to save the NBA by breaking up the anti-competition committee (Golden State), but this guy is in their way. It's no coincidence that tomorrow is Halloween.

Spoiler

 

If true, this is actually a good thing for Gordon. Not sure how our team, nevertheless our bench, will hold up, especially if the trade involves Knight and Gordon.
It’s a good thing for Gordon bc he will finally be a starter again and more than likely get paid after next summer.

 

I’m guessing the Rockets knew Harden would sign an extension with the Rockets before that trade happened, and Houston knows Butler will sign long term......thus the 4 first round picks offer. Rockets
don’t give up 4 first round picks for a rental.

Tomorrow will be Butler trade to Rockets (likely)........or another team steps up and intercepts the pass.

I’m guessing the T-Wolves leaked the Rockets offer of 4-first round picks in hopes of another team stepping
up to the plate and offering 4-first round picks and better than EGo/Chriss/Nene. Would be nice to move
Knight and Dieng with 3rd or 4th team(s)......but more moving parts means more difficulty in getting a deal done.

 

Really wish we could get an update from @cyberx @Codman or @ch44

 

Haha, maaaan, I'm really gonna have to see more proof of this buy out market, the best thing we ever got out of it was Gerald(which was cool). Other than that....eeeeeeeeeeeeeh.

Also you are better than me man, I have long since given up on Hartenstein and Zhou lol.(although i hope to be wrong about both).

 

Nearing Halloween? All those insiders pop up.

 

Thibs wants one more look at his new acquisition.

 

So tonight at 12.01 am JB will be rocket?

 

Man, yall got no love for Gordon, at all lol.

 

minnesota does not want to deal him here. they just want miami to up their offer most likely. why would butler want to be here long term if we can't pay him? they would probably only do it we took on dieng too. its not happening guys.

 

He’s real important but so inconsistent

 

Josh Smith?

 

Trading for him is one thing.

Committing long term and finding ways to acquire better role players around him - those are a whole new narrative.

 

it's sad. he's a great player.

 

When we needed him in the playoffs he was there. ....I think lol, I'd have to go back and look at his averages.

 

If that is indeed true, this feels so much worse. I hope Morey can pull some wizardry.

 

The clock is ticking down..
