Is Houston + Butler - whatever they give up in that trade scenario really a better chance at a ring than the Sixers young core? I don't think...
Right. I get why your suggestion works for Houston. I don't see how it works for Butler though.
That's asking a player to take a LOT of risk (declining four year $140M offers or possibly 5 yr $190M so he can sign for one year, $20M) just so...
Oh right - you said others would. Sorry. Consider my comment directed at them. :D
No, I'm saying that, after a guy has issues with the team in EVERY PLACE HE HAS EVER PLAYED, it seems unlikely that it was ALL the fault of the...
At this time of year, rumors are vague and contradictory. I don't think anything is CLEAR right now.
I'm not saying he's DEFINITELY a bad teammate. I'm saying he has had problems at EVERY stop (yes, including Philly), and you blindly assume he's...
Why's that? It's not like any Western Conf team just demonstrated the perils of relying on a star-laden starting lineup at the expense of...

LOL. Embiid, Simmons, and Harris (if he stays) give Butler a better shot at a ring than Harden, a declining CP3, and an empty bench after HOU...
Sure it does. If Butler wants the supermax AND wants to play in Houston, he can tell Philly "You can sign me to the supermax and work out a deal...
And pick up a chunk of Paul's salary while you're at it.
It's not clear the Lakers have ANY bench right now. So probably not better than Rockets.
Did fine without whom?
Now that CP3's contract is an untradeable anchor, is that still a good thing???
