Im pretty sure 95% of CF was ecstatic when both were signed, knowing that they were plus defenders. You are publicizing fake news.
He was there, posting on social media. It was during the time people thought Wade was pissed at him about the Gabrielle Union comment.
We could have three of butler, harden, CP3, Melo, Capela on the court at all times. That means some poor bench out there will have to be playing against three all-star caliber players.
FYI... also, the week prior to the Bahamas trip - Butler was already with CP3 & Melo in San Clemente, California...
pj tucker shot 48% on 3 for the entire playoffs..hardly any team in nba has that..particularly ariza has never been able to do that...not even close to it
meh...Butler will clearly upgrade this team...role players can go for him CP3, Harden, plus role players has a short shelf life when it comes to potentially winning a title...we need another star, and I doubt we could do better than Butler with our limited assets and lack of cap space
Lol absolutely right. Butler is a borderline top 10 player in the league and people are complaining. As it is it would be an absolute highway robbery but some here expect to get him for free.
I don’t want to see Tucker go, but if that’s what it takes, then it is what it is...much easier to get another Tucker than it is to get a Jimmy Butler CP3 Harden Butler Tuck Capela that’s a filthy lineup
Didn't think this through at all, but I like throwing out hypothetical lineups Chriss / Knight / Gordon / Tucker for Dieng / Butler / Gibson Paul / MCW Harden / Green Butler / Ennis Gibson / Melo Capela / Dieng / Nene
Butler LOVES to dribble the ball, something to think about when the rockets already have plenty of those...
Bottom line is, when CP3 went down we didn't have enough guys to help Harden out. We added Melo and now possibly Butler. Warriors better hope we don't pull this off.
RPM ranking last season 1. CP3 2. Harden 4. Butler Rockets would have 3 guys who finished in the top 5 in RPM last season on the same team...I already posted the drastic difference in performance for the Wolves when Butler was on and off the court (elite when he’s on...straight up trash when he’s off) Ego who? I love Tuck, but if he has to go in order to acquire Butler then I wish him the best and will always have love for him.
I know many here don’t believe in Knight but he is cp3 insurance too don’t forget that. Plus melo is here also... Tucker is extremely important. Losing him and Ariza is not good.
He's also a ballhog and lockeroom cancer and wants to be the leader of his teams. But if he wants to come here he certainly knows what type of players and personalities we have because on paper it's a very bad fit chemistry wise.
