Just curious, as a hypothetical, would you sign Russell to a $20m/multi year QO on July 1st? The danger associated with that decision is one of the more intriguing decisions I’ve seen in free agency.

Jim Harden forming a super team. Never thought I'd see the day.

100% not happening.

James doesn't want a third star. He wants to do it the right way and Butler coming aboard cancels that. Sorry Jimmy.

Nah. Too much and I'd want a three year deal to get his bird rights

Butler in Houston would be such a hilarious disaster though.

They already have the second worst contract in the league. I'd be terrified to see what the Jimmy butler deal looks like two years from now

I’m really talking more on the court and once the locker room. Butler is a complete dick and has been a problem literally every team he’s been with.

That paired with CP3 who is also a dick that has had problems everywhere and Harden who hates to be told what to do and is ultra high usage.

Lol. I’d love it. Please happen.


FYI: Bobby Marks just said it would be extremely difficult and 6ers are better off just letting him go. So doesn’t see it happening.

Chris is no longer good enough to be considered part of a big 3. If he was then CC would have won the title this past year. Chris did not hold up his end of the bargain.

He’s probably the most talented player they could grab to form a “Big 3” without max space. The danger of the Nets icing you out of free agency and matching the offer is very real though.

Wall’s is second worst, Paul’s is the worst. Mozgov and Parsons were still worse all-time though.

I doubt we make a serious offer until after Brooklyn renounces their rights for him and signs kyrie

Imagine being Daryl Morey and paying a non-star 40+ million for the next 3 years

If he got hurt in the first game of the year. Dead money for the whole year Houston would still contend and probably be the best team in the west. That is bc of hardens greatness.

Bubba. Chris lead the league in RPM two seasons ago, and was a big part of two of the best offenses of all time. He's still big time, and definitely worthy of at least the 3rd banana on big 3.

Guess James just wants a title at whatever cost it takes. Shame it had to take forming a super team to do it.

the offense was better the year before Chris got here then it was chris first year.

And it was #5 all time this season, when HARDENS usage shot through the roof.

more harden, less Chris = better offense efficiency.
