CPknee, Butler and Kyrie all need to be put on a team together where they can all be miserable together.

Philly just tells them to go piss up a rope. Houston can only offer mid-level unless Philly cooperates and there's no fucking way Butler is taking that.

If Houston pulls this off they could win the West next year. Still need 1-2 more pieces though.

Compared to the team from two years ago, Butler is an upgrade over either Gordon or Ariza, but you're missing an extra body. And Capela would be part of the trade too.

Though if you have a big 3 vets will come in for cheap.

I give it virtually no chance of happening.

CP is no longer big 3 material. Would need a 3rd team involved too, too many moving pieces for this to ever happen.

You guys are probably right. Look how bad GSW was hurt without having a starting caliber center after Loony got hurt.

I think CP3 will be worse than two years ago, but better than this year with a full summer to heal. He would be the third best guy in that big 3 though if anything, he's not top 10 anymore.

If the mechanics are too tough, I wonder what they'll do. This is a make or break season for the Rockets. Not sure how else they can improve

He is the second best two way player in the league. Toronto should be trying to get him somehow for when Kawhi leaves

So the Rockets are saying they want Butler to force his way out of Philly? Won’t that be the third team he forced his way out of should it happen? :laugh4:

Regardless, why should Philly even humor this? So they can take back overrated trash in return? Better to just get the cap space instead, fuck Houston.

That's how I feel. Why do I want Houston's leftovers?

Denali... if this were the olden days of slavery, and you were working the fields, would you look down on zombiesonics for kissing the white man’s ass?
