    We need a united front. And a mentality that’s more about doing than talking..that’s what type of guy Jim is

    Don’t do that and he’ll c*m in to the meeting thinking we p*****s

    In 2017 Butler was 4th in the entire league in RPM

    Not 1, not 2, and not 3...

    Keep the parade or ceremony in Tomball. Plenty of real estate going north on 249

    Those throwback jerseys working. Get Butler and DeAndre going to be chomping at the bit to come as well. That lineup is nice. Positive energy.

    Harden
    Paul
    Butler
    Tucker
    Jordan

    Correct me if I’m wrong here but if a meeting doesn’t happen until FA then he’ll have opted out which only leaves a hard capping S&T option or even less likely a max space clearing trade to sign him. Those are the only options yes?

    #1 was CP3
    #2 was Harden
    (Steph was #3)

    It’s one of the reasons ive been so positive about adding him. When CP3, Harden or Butler are on the court, they win...consistently. Even if we look at this past season, Harden was #2, CP3 was #12, and Butler was #14.

    Why would Butler accept less money to join the Rockets and be a second banana to James Harden?

    Seems like he’s using this as pressure on the Sixers to offer him a max.

    Are they confident Philadelphia will participate in a sign-&-trade?

    Harden and him are friends

    4 year max at $140 M in Texas is more money than the 4 year in Philly

    5 year max offer from Philly is old news. He doesn’t need leverage

    This has to be a front . No way we can open max space without some team eating Paul's contract
