To me this screams Houston desperate to get Buter's attention. For him to commit 4-5 years in Houston after the issues that team has had makes little sense to me. Jimmy had issues with his touches in Philly apparently and even Chris Paul by himself had issues with Harden sharing the ball. Plus adding Jimmy's max to Houston means they have no flexibility until he expires.

The fact that it has been reported that he would meet with Miami but the same hasn't been said about Houston should tell you everything you need to know.


Hou's been the second best team in the league for the last 3 yrs, and the best team might have just took themselves out for the yr, so it makes some sense. Issue hasn't been sharing the ball for Houston, it's been talent. I don't know what any reported meetings might mean, but there's a lot of smoke on this end


So many personalities. Harden, CP3, and then you add Butler. That's going to be a short fuse. I'd just stay in Philly. They almost knocked off the champs. Would've likely beaten the Bucks IMO. Probably would've won the Finals too.


Rok's would be better, if the only thing that those guys care about is winning then it's always the right personalities.

a 7'2 guy after a torn ACL that already missed around 50% of the games in his 4 year career.


That's a Wiggins type gamble.

I honestly don't believe in sign and trade deals, to me it's just media content to fill the air.

I don't listen to Wojes, Shamses at this time of the year anyways, but especially Butler/D'lo s'n't rumors

Not surprising.


Any team that signs him would be making a mistake. Even the Warriors. Best move for him and teams would have been to stay on the one year deal and get that last max contract when proven healthy. I just don’t see how a team can justify 1/3 of their salary cap to a player that’s out for the season.

Guess his agent knows/has a good feeling that some team will still give him a max deal even while redshirting the first year.

"Proven healthy" is a min of 2 years away. Somebody will eat the risk and sign him....he knows it.
