    Not with a big grain of salt, dont take it at all.
    Its very simple to figure if a poster is an insider in realgm. If he has more and1s than posts and others are quoting him to ask for details and thanx, then hes legit.
    That guy is obviously a troll.

    So, if he's a troll (and that was my belief), then.....don't take it with a grain of salt. Don't take it at all?

    'T'would seem not.

    But if JB does come to the Rockets on this Tuesday (technically any Tuesday) where does Burt Steele rank on our insider list? It'd have to be #1 right? For making declarations that 100% panned out and not just posting about 'talks', right?

    (Im not being serious)

    Been reading they want to move Dieng in the deal as well for Butler. The Rockets have been talking to 3rd teams, but that would mean that the 4 picks will be not all be going to Minny, unless Minny is willing to move their own picks ( which they wont because they would be higher picks). So the combo of those picks, will be attached to dieng and moved, with jimmy butler coming to houston.

    The biggest question is.... who is going to take Diengs horrible contract. And what are the Rockets going to give up.

    1. If 4 picks are attached, then it is 99% knight, chriss, nene, and maybe some prospect.

    2. If its 2 picks, then its EG and some other fillers. But that does not get it done for Minny as they would still be on the hook for Dieng.

    I think this deal gets done with the #1 option stated above with Dieng going to a third team, butler coming to houston, and poo poo platter and picks going to Minny.

    Can't believe we don't have Butler yet.

    No idea what the Wolves are hoping to accomplish.

    Every game is a clown show.

    If I was philly I would offer fultz+Chandler straight up for butler.

    Simmons
    Reddick
    Butler
    Covington
    Embiid

    Would be nasty...

    Wolves are mess, idk what thibs is doing but he’s only hurting his team even more. They’ve already let butler humiliate teammates, his antics are making fans and I’m sure teammates sour [cheering with warrior fans].

    Then ontop of it thibs and company don’t even know what they want. You could offer them prime Kobe at this point and they still might decline it.

    They’ve only damaged their team, dropped butlers value and look like morons.

    All Sixers could get for Fultz right now would be Jo Chee

    The sooner Thibs realizes that he is not going to win with or without Butler, the faster this gets done. Miami has probably taken Josh Richardson off of the table.

    There isn't anyone that is coming in to propel them into the playoffs. Hell they could barely make it even if Butler stayed.

    I have absolutely no idea what Thibodeau is thinking. How many teammates' girls does Butler have to steal in order to convince the T-Wolves he's not staying?!? :eek:o_O:mad:

    Actually, maybe that's the problem.....Thibs has never had a girlfriend, so he wouldn't understand the pain.

    This has to get done before the wolves have their “city edition” debut. Jimmy wasn’t even in the promo.

    I don't think it will ever enter Thibs mind that he can't win with Butler. He won't come to that realization.

    The realization has to come from 1) Butler. Needing to be more aggressive in forcing himself out. And 2) Owner Glen Taylor recognizing the bigger picture in terms of trade value and current team chemistry.

    Thibs won't change.
