    Ariza sucks ass. Ariza has sucked ass for quite a while. There is no defense in the NBA anymore.

    Minnesota does not need any more draft picks. The ones they have need to get off their butt and get some stops.

    They have Chris Paul who is a great on ball defender and Clint capela who is a great rim protector.

    According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, Minnesota "is showing no inclination to move on Houston offer of two injured players and four first-rounders for Jimmy Butler."

    We learned on Thursday that Houston is willing to part with as many as four first-round picks, but they wanted to include two injured players in the deal in Marquese Chriss (ankle) and Brandon Knight (knee). The four first-round picks are projected to be in the late 20s, so Minnesota is going to hold out in the hopes of a better offer.

    Who cares about rim protection? Centers are worthless in today’s nba- perimeter defense is much more important - Houston had that last year- tucker/ariza/moute Which was the reason- why they were so good!!

    Diffrence is,Golden State wouldnt have mortgaged their future to do it.The more they offer,the more Minnesota knows how desperate they are,ala Mike Ditka and Ricky Williams.

    Thats the objective,so be it.

    Show me one time where he produced during the western conference finals? Oh wait, you can’t. At the end of the day, regular season doesn’t matter.

    With or without Butler they'll go down to the Warriors in 5 games. Minnesota should of taken the Heat's offer for Butler.

    The bottom just fell out of Minnesota. Down almost 30 to the Bucks. Butler can't get out of Minnesota fast enough. This team is a sinking ship and Butler wants no part of it.

    Dumb ass radio shows asking which nfl player(s)

    would you trade 4 1st for

    like Late first round NFL picks aren’t more valuable than NBA

    Anyway consensus was Mahomes and maybe Rodgers (but too old imo)

    butler is elite thats why heat wanted him and could afford him but didnt bite, minny also gave up good players for him and they also want a lot for him. this would definitely put houston up there

    In the wake of the Rockets falling to 1-4 and reengaging Butler trade talk, this PJ Tucker quote is all you need to understand the state of concern: “It’s tough. It’s not the same team. I hate talking about last year. It’s gone.”
