Rockets going hard after Jimmy

[Saint Cy of JFC]

This wreaks of another bad new owner that vacillates in their long term vision and wants to meddle with their new toy.

Meh. Its a good trade. Might as well go all in during the last years of Paul's prime.

I like this for HOU. They've got no problem attracting FAs, so drafts aren't really all that important to them. They could be contending this year easily if they have Jimmy.

dude they were contending last year and would have been contending this year if they'd re-signed the role players ...

 

[dong2ha]

I want butler to be traded there and leave year after. that will be really bad for houston lol

They took 1 step back during the offseason for sure, but by getting Jimmy they'll be taking 2 steps forward.

no OL it'll be more like as if they were walking along on a rooftop .. one step sideways and then plummeting downward rapidly

I hope Minnesota takes it. Extremely shortsighted move by Houston if it happens. They'd be terrible within 1-2 years.

If this is true the Wolves would be tripping and stumbling as they ran toward the phone to scream, "YES!" to Houston's offer.

Except their coach/GM wants to win now and doesn’t give one eff about draft picks... this story was leaked for a reason... either to prod Miami or see if the message can get to ownership and bypass Thibs.

Four first rounders? Minnesota would be stupid not to take that deal.

Paul, Harden, Jimmy, Carmelo. What could go wrong?

If Silver implements a new rule of two basketballs in play at a time, it could work.

Exactly, why would they leak it, my guess is minny rejected so now they are trying to shame them... Who knows

They are still contending...

No they wouldn't. They would still have at least two of Harden, Paul, and Butler do that's still a playoff team two years from now.

nah not anywhere near as close to the Dubs as last year

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

nah not anywhere near as close to the Dubs as last year

Its October...

 

[Douchebag K]

Its October...

i'm not going by what they look like in the games so far

 

[The Thriller]

Butler and cp3 both have health issues.

I’d laugh hard if they were compelled to play harden and melo big mins in the playoffs after Butler and cp3 went down with injuries.

Imagine that locker room. Yikes

Rockets championship dream ended the moment they decided to overpay Chris Paul
