    I would trade Tucker/Gordon for Butler if we still have both Ariza and Moute.

    Sheeeet....Paul would personally driveTucker and Gordon to the airport.

    Harden would miss his boy .... but still get him an Uber to the airport.

    MDA would complain to the media ... until the Rockets beat the Warriors and then praise his teams chemistry.

    If there smart that is what they will do.

    Miami in like 2 years will have only them on good deals, all around 9-10m a yr. they should have enough for 2 max deals and be able to sign some cheaper vets.

    Miami is still a major destination in the league. If they have those three just playing as well as they are now and max money for two? I have no doubt they will land some big names.

    Jimmy played great on both ends of the floor tonight and had that Wolves team fired up. KAT was focused on defense and looked more intense. If Jimmy stays this team could be better than last year. Hopefully this was just Jimmy keeping his promise to Taylor and Morey can still get this deal done.

    No. Just salary filler.

    Chriss, who could be an expiring contract after this year, would be more desirable to Minny than Nene.

    Knight could be used in a deal that includes Dieng.

    I was thinking that if the Rockets and Minnie would've already a deal in place they could've done it at this point.

    Gordon, Nene and picks for Butler plus Knight for Dieng.

    Not possible as today if the deal would've to include Chriss instead of Nene, but i've really a difficult time thinking swapping Chriss for Nene is what gets the deal done tbh...even if not expiring Nene can actually make sense for the Wolves as a mentor for KAT, Chriss i don't know...even though who knows, maybe Taylor likes him, KG said he doesn't understand **** about basketball so...if that's true, i guess everything is possible, but i just don't see it...or better, i don't have a good feeling about this deal getting done.

    which is why PJ is not on the table. The whole team had horrible defense, PJ was definitely not the problem.

    The season hasn't even started and teams are already resting players. I'm all for analytics, no B2B and injury preventions but this has gotten ridiculous.

    .
    I hope there is a trade brewing and an injury is the last thing either team wants. IMO. That is way our team looked so “tied” and now will need “rest”, too. This is just the opinion of you fat friend.

    Side note. Chriss can’t be traded till 10/31. His salary will be needed in most trade scenarios.
