Rockets trying to get Jimmy Butler.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Is there any kind of thought process to bringing in players down there?? They'd have to give up Capella and Tucker.

[jjgold]

[Hman]

Is he really enough to get them over the hump?

[JIBBBY]

Another scorer just what they need.. lol.. They have trouble sharing the ball now..

[Hman]

Any help they can get to keep LeBron & co. down I'm ok with

Would love to see Kawhi go to Houston or Golden State

[Mr KLC]

This has the same signs of a losing gambler that keeps chasing.

[jjgold]

Butler won’t even make houston better

Harden a ball
Hog

[lakerboy]

Houston is finished. Harden is a loser

[jjgold]

Houston is finished. Harden is a loser

End of thread

[jtoler]

they dont know what theyre doing down there could see that when they signed chris paul have no idea why pure point guards go to teams where they have a guy who's gonna be handling it most. nash use to fake injuries to not be on the court with ballhog kobe. can live without tucker but butler not worth an arm and a leg

[Bluehorseshoe]

Harden and Chris Paul can't get along. What is Jimmy Butler going to do to that chemistry??

[2daBank]

Houston is finished. Harden is a loser

Damn straight. Why would anyone want to play w that ball hog jerkoff?

He didn’t fake injuries he was a pussy. Kobe was a winner, Nash was a loser. Kobe should never let Nash touch the ball. 2 most pathetic jerk off mvp’s ever handed out. Pretty sure he won them cause he was white. Sad.

If Daryl Morey wants cancer that badly he should just buy cigarettes and cesium. It would be far cheaper than signing Jimmy Butler

Shut up losers. Stop taking your fat anger out on a keyboard. Third Coast!
Hope you guys are doing well.

NBA is hilarious. 4 weeks ago the media was screaming for the Lakers to offer whatever it took to get Daryl Morey or Sam Presti and pry them away from their teams because they KNEW how to run a franchise. Now - clueless retards.

Morey is a genius. He basically stole Harden. He swings for the fences. When he messes up....he doesn't keep the mistake in the lineup all season like OKC did.

[cincinnatikid513]

they have nothing to offer in a sign and trade, that chris paul contract is really going to hurt houston, hard to trade a guy who is aging and declining

[krk1030]

We Should hear nothing about the rockets all summer.

They have no cap space and nobody wants anything they have to offer in trade.

They are going to have the same team next year, unless they dump Chris Paul for other bad contacts.

Yep

The bar has been really lowered I see. Used to be a guy had to win something to get such high praise. Not anymore it seems. Harden sucks he didn’t stealggge him, okc gave him awat.

When James harden or Daryl Morey write their autobiography of why the regular season means more than a championship one day, sludge287 will be the first person they thank and all of this will be worth it. He's working hard for such lofty lifetime goals

[thomorino]

Butler isn't that young and PHiladelphia can offer him an extra year and more money, Houston doesn't have much flexibility with Paul's big contract, I think its likely Butler stays, Houston is a shit show right now with Paul and Harden arguing.

[shadymcgrady]

So much for Morey moneyball, looks like the advanced analytics got them an advanced exit in the second round. Without Durant and cousins to boot.

Did Toronto really accomplish what Houston could not with a notepad and box of crayons compared to Morey's heroball analytics?

Pathetic

[thomorino]

I think Butler is just using Houston to get Philadelphia to offer him the 5 year deal he wants that Minnesota wouldn't give him, doesn't make sense to go to the West and take less money to play with an old Paul and his horrible contract unless he's stupid.

Morey's made mistakes, but he's made Houston far better than they were without him, he got Harden for nothing, its not his fault he coudn't get a top free agent to play with Harden.

[shadymcgrady]

Morey is a clown, regular season accolades are a joke when you have a shot at winning titles. Houston constructed their entire roster to beat gsw this year and failed to do so after both Durant AND cousins went down. Pathetic

Butler will never get a max deal unless a team is stupid enough to throw that money away. He's a good player and can do it all but his circumstance and age has made him an afterthought in that dept. Thibs fault if anything for luring him to Minny bc he wanted to coach in his own rigid and stubborn way

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Whomever offers butler a 5 year max contract will sign him. No more. No less. Gamble to give him that kind of $$ with his baggage but that’s life in the nba.

[JIBBBY]

Jimmy Buckets is tough, bit undersized but a 2 way player for sure.. I'd take him on any team.. Rockets will try to land him..

Very few GMs have the slightest clue what they're doing.

Hammond (Orl), Pritchard (Ind), Ainge (Bos), Ujiri (Tor), Riley (Gst), West (LAC), Nelson (Dal), Krenoke (Den), Olshey (Por) and maybe Griffin (NO) have my respect.

Mavs have had a phenominal year... Nelson should have got executive of the year for trading for Doncic & KP.

[jjgold]

Butler and Harden not a good mix

Butler ok But not going to make them better

[clockwise1965]

Conflict just seems to follow Butler.
