Jimmy Butler traded to Philly for Robert Covington and Dario Saric. Jimmy plans to re-sign.

Houston realized they needed more defense and a lock-down defender in the starting lineup

They don't have much of a choice

And Taylor is even more desperate for Minny to be in the playoffs - KAT and Wiggins aren't taking up a majority % of the cap for the team just to loiter around in the lottery. Unless they're getting back pieces of value that will help them this season, it doesn't make much sense for him to go through with this deal. Unless, of course, he plans on hitting the reset button.

with them 4 picks, the wolves should be able to rebuild fairly easy since they will be lottery bound themselves. they'll have a shytload of picks when it's all said and done. and KAT and weed plate are locked in, so it's not like they can do shyt if they wanna jump ship anyways. however, I'm sure the wolves would love to move weed plate if possible.

Wow, rapeage by Minny. 2023 and 2025

2018 & nikkas still doubting Morey

Wiggins wants to be moved as well from what we heard from CF and Wolves beat people.

Likely that Rockets picks would be attached to move him.

so if this deal goes thru in 2019 the rockets are going to be paying jimmy like $30M a year, CP3 $38M a year, harden $38M a year and capela $17M. so that's like $120M between just 4 players. and I would assume they'd have to move eric gordon and brandon knight. but if they keep one of them, this team is gonna be so maxed out cap wise it won't even be funny.

They likely to miss the playoffs this year. This gives them a package especially to sign someone for 2020.

why would the rockets offer so much? they are bidding against themselves for :butler:

 

[DonKnock]

will adam silver step in and this deal like the cp3 to the lakers deal?

It's been almost a decade and y'all still can't figure out why that deal got cancelled?


The NBA was controlling the Hornets at the time with Stern as acting owner.

Stern had the authority to kill the deal because the league owns the Hornets, having purchased the franchise from George Shinn in 2010. Until now, league officials had granted autonomy to the Hornets’ front office to make personnel decisions it deemed appropriate. This was the first time the league has stepped in.

Rockets and Wolves aren't being run by the commissioner.

Because the current team is trash

Do you post on Clutchfans? I don't have an account but I lurk there from time & those cacs are melting down on there.

 

[trick]

let's see if bill simmons has the balls to talk shyt about morey if this deal goes badly

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

Are you not allowed to trade consecutive first rounders anymore after the Nets Celtics trade?

Guessing it would be every other year, cause of that old Joe Smith trade

 

[GoldenGlove]

I'll always take talent over picks. Let the Rockets bury themselves more with this bum squad and call them back in february.

The picks are probably trash and they just maxed 2 players in their early 20s, I don't know why they would take that. If I'm the Wolves, I want guys like Lavine, Dunn and Lauri for him
