I don't understand why CC is trying to rock the boat. If they were clear #2 behind GOAT, why make a move now?

Tilman is putting out a book on his 5 tenants of successful business. 3 of the 5 are the word “change”. That’s the kinda guy tilman is. Even had cc won the title (had Chris played like a super team member) they would still be looking to mix it up.

You said that last year too. The Mavericks and Spurs will both win a NBA title before the Rockets win their next one.

That was the first time i overate them in the last 5 seasons. My picks are impeccable if anything I have done a lot of underrating as of late.

WBB: “Lebron had to form super teams to win championships”

Also WBB: “Super team is at least 3 players”

Chris Bosh first title year in Miami: 18 ppg, 1.8 apg, 7.9 rpg, 18.9 PER, .175 ws/48, 1.0 VORP

Kevin Love title year in Cleveland: 16.0 ppg, 2.4 apg, 9.9 rpg, 19.0 PER, .169 ws/48, 2.8 VORP

Chris Paul this year: 15.6 ppg, 8.2 apg, 4.6 rpg, 19.7 PER, .172 ws/48, 2.4 vorp

Never change WBB

Toronto only has a title because Klay and Durant had parts of their bodies explode on the court.

I find it hilarious that the Rockets are willing to basically gut their depth entirely to sign a guy that while a strong defender and good offensive player with limited range.

They will literally have no presence in the paint. Will be giving up sharpshooters from deep (Gordon) and glue guys like Tucker for this.

Are they really thinking they send out Capela, Gordon and Tucker to get Butler and improve the team? Is their thought process that DeAndre Jordan takes a paycut to come in?

They will have hurt what made them successful these past two years just to get a 3rd star that won't put them over the top.

I hope they do it just to watch my fellow Houstonians whine and cry after their childish owner and GM are proven to be idiots.

Exactly.

Houston was easily better than TOR. easily. The version of gsw that TOR Beat is a .500 team at best.

Remember klay and Durant didn’t even play 200 min v TOR, that was the wounded warriors TOR played.

Meanwhile CC got nearly 500 min of those two guys.

300 more minutes of McKinnie and jerebko and those bums instead of klay and Kevin in a 6 game series is just massive.

Deandre has been chomping on the bit to come play in Houston for years now. He would love the MLE.

Butler - 40% on catch and shoot three. You know How many open catch and shoot three hardwn creates.
