So would you guys like to have JB depending on who the Rockets give up come trade deadline? Or do you fear he is just too disruptive?

In addition to depleted depth.

Adding Jimmy is definitely worth a shot but only at the right price because he comes with certain risks.

I like Butler as I think he has a lot of valuable traits he could bring to the Rockets. But the Rockets can't afford to run more ISOs and the PNRs stay with Harden and Paul. This team thrives on moving the ball and engaging its shooters. If he's persistently demanding touches like he is in Philly, then Houston isn't the right place for him.

Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

Nah. At this point there's all kinds of red flags with him. Wanted him earlier but with this happening again I'm out
