heat probably trying to completely fleece them in the deal, offering overweight waiters, johnson and a 2nd round pick
Jimmy rented a house in Houston during the 2014 offseason to train all summer The summer before he won Most Improved Player, Jimmy Butler rented a house in Houston to live with his friends and focus on his training. He went all summer without TV or the Internet simply so that he could work harder on his game. “I wanted to be so good at the game that we didn’t have cable, we didn’t have the Internet,” he recalled. “Whenever we got bored, all we would do is go to the gym. We’d eat, sleep and go to the gym. We’d go three times a day because we didn’t have anything else to do. We were sitting on the couch, looking at each other, saying, ‘What the hell are we going to do all day?’” Jimmy dreamed of playing for the Rockets and loved the Texans and Astros “It was Houston everything for me,” said Butler, who grew up in Tomball, roughly 30 miles from Houston’s city center. “Whatever sport I was in love with at the time, I wanted to be playing for the Houston Rockets, Houston Astros, Houston Texans. I was Houston to the death.” If he actually does hate Houston, he does a sh*tty job of showing it
What are the chances that Houston forming "creative" trade ideas for Butler include offering a secret deal to hire thibs as soon as he gets fired?
Talk about going back to your dark place for motivation. Right back to what, likely, made him try so hard to get where he is. Not recruited out of high school. Slightly recruited out of juco ranks. Drafted pretty late. Strong desire to be great, probably because he comes from nothing. Before he takes his infamous big step in the pros, he goes back to where it began and purposefully robbed himself of all luxuries. Pretty strong. Prettay, prettay, prettaaaay strong stuff. I hope we get him.
A few points. Reeko’s post definitely shoots down the idea that he hates Houston. However, he has been very adamant in the past to claim Tomball as his home, and adamantly says not Houston. Either way that means nothing. He’s on good terms with Harden, probably Melo too. Doubt he actually has disdain for the city. Someone did point out how he would never wear a Heat jersey in the past. Twitter. Clutchfan sources. Why is it so hard to believe that nobody is actually a source. Again, these are billion dollar businesses. If they were leaking to someone who turns around and gossips on a public forum, you don’t think they would take care of that. It’s not very difficult to make educated guesses. Half of every teams roster is untradable. It had to be EG from our end. Obviously Morey doesn’t want to give up EG and PJ. You think Daryl is walking around and telling some intern “I’m gonna start with EG, but I’ll include Pj if I have to.” (It’s an example, I’m not saying he would include PJ...I, like everyone else on here, doesn’t actually know)
we all know jimmy butler prefers miami because of gabrielle union... https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...-for-a-comment-on-gabrielle-unions-instagram/
You make your guesses, others listen to insiders (or "insiders"). It's pure style. It's no black and white. Take it easy.
Ha. Ok. I call some people out just like you’re calling me out. Telling me to take it easy as if IM FUMING?!?!?
lol your response speaks to itself how judgmental you are dude. There are 10 ways you can interpret "take it easy" and you just have to take the combative route. I'm not telling you to do anything. Do whatever you want. I could not care less. Peace.
Thanks for all the great info @Codman!!! I think Morey needs to rescue Ingram from the “frigid hell” if the Wolves trade Butler to the Lakers. XO[/QUOTE]
Rockets got 1 of the best deals out there, but the Wolves would rather deal him East to Miami...Miami doesn’t want to give up Richardson so now the Wolves are stalling trying to see if Miami will fold before sending Jimmy home that’s my wishful thinking story, and I’m sticking to it
http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/...s-heat-get-creative/yql4ez7kjlgm1w4ioq33p80py Guys, did I miss this posted somewhere? Woj says Rockets getting creative with deals. I saw this earlier, and thought folks would be talking about it.
