Holy hell, that is a ridiculous contract. Who is Sac bidding against? This just screams of them not wanting to lose him for nothing after trading assets for him.

Ah, I remember now!! It was something like:

Judging by the analysts on ESPN, as of July 1st the Lakers' depth chart will be
Kyrie/Kemba/Russell
Butler/Thompson/Middleton
Lebron/Kawhi/Harris
Davis/Kuzma/Millsap
Vucevic/Horford/Cousins​

I'm a little off on the details, but it was in that vein, and it made me laugh.
 
let me get this straight: one guy tweets a tweet that doesn't exist and 2 other guys liked the tweet...and none of them can remember what it was less than 3 hours later?

that will make me feel better the next time I walk into a room, turn on the light, and not know why I'm in the room

Thats it, it was basically how if you listened to ESPN LA was gonna have the 2019-2020 dream team. :)
 
Stein reported that Rockets have a trade for Capela, but will only go through if they get Butler...what a weird position for Capela. Damn they are ruthless

It's Boston. There was speculation that they had a deal for Capela during the draft with Boston but the player they (Houston) wanted was gone.
 
I wouldn't believe anything coming from Houston. They are supposedly in the running for Bosh/Gasol/Amare/Melo/Lebron/etc etc etc every year. Philly still has to agree to trade away Butler and you know he wants that 5th year and max raises. Bunch of nonsense.

Butler has shown he's a little prickly about the roster he plays on. Do people really think he'll approve of being on a team with Harden and Paul?

I know Paul and Harden are denying a beef but it's pretty obvious there is one. Paul thinks he should control the ball more. How is throwing a 3rd player that expects to be just as ball dominant as those other two gonna help Houston take the next step?

I don't get it.
 
A big reason for Houston's step back last year was losing Ariza and Mbah A Moute on the wings. Losing Gordon and Capela (and maybe Tucker?) while getting hard capped for Butler seems weird. That's over the salary cap with just Harden, Butler, and Paul. Can they really fill out the rest of the roster with good enough bigs to make that work? Maybe they pull it off but it certainly doesn't scare me right now.

Neither does Morey. All that dork cares about is landing big names. Doesn’t matter which one. Doesn’t matter how they fit.

It's the same build mold that LA might be doing with Kyrie-Lebron-AD

which is substantially better than what HOU is doing.
