    Butler is better on defense than Tucker and better on offense than Gordon. Do you really think ennis is guarding KD for 48 minutes lmao

    Yeah you do EG/PJT/1st for Butler all day. Throw in a 2nd just for fun. Even if the 1st is unprotected; even if Butler doesn't commit to re-signing. We're trying to win the title this year.

    I wonder if Morey would be willing take Dieng. This might make a deal even more attractive to the Timberwolves. Obviously, we would want to avoid this.

    I approve this trade.

    Hate to lose Tucker because of how well he does the dirty work (& enforcer).
    Hate to lose Gordon because I Knight is not ready for the EGo role....Melton is gone.....MCW no!!.....
    I am ok w/ GGreen having more of the EGo role, since Melo decreases the need for a deep bench PG ball handler.

    Starting 5 of CP3/Harden/Butler/Melo/Capela would be deadly. Bench of:
    GGreen/Knight/Ennis/Chriss/Nene or Hartenstein or Qi can be made into a formidable force when mixed with a
    starter or two.

    Morey can trade Knight/Chriss others for bench help when available in package (*or individually now as in the case
    of Knight and Chriss). Easier for Morey to trade for depth than starters.

    My only problem with Butler is logging in over 70 regular season games (in a season) in only two years in his career.
    Similar to Eric Gordon prior to coming to Houston.....of course Jimmy will be a starter though.

    A team of CP3, Harden, Butler, Melo, Capela is not going to cut it sorry. No bench scoring, sorry but no thanks.

    Am I the only one that thinks Jimmy Buckets has been worn down by Thibs? Look at Rose/Noah/Deng, I wouldn’t give up Tuck or EG. Take Knight and a pick.
