It is no news that the Rockets want to get Jimmy Butler. The key is how to get Butler!
There is only one way: sign first and then change!
This is still based on sending at least one of Capela or Gordon, and taking various chips, or in other words, it is necessary to deal with Paul’s big contract first!
The complexity of this also involves some draft picks, not just salary matching.
The latest news, the Rockets still haven’t given up chasing Butler!
In a program, Windhorst, McMahon, and McMullan analyzed Butler’s latest progress. Windhorst said: “I heard something about Jimmy trying to return to Houston.
The voice.” McMahon: “That is the real voice, the Rockets think they have a chance to get Butler!”
Then Windhorst said that if the Rockets want to get Butler, it will be more complicated. First of all, when the Rockets negotiated with the Timberwolves before, Gordon 4 first-round picks, it seems that they are still the biggest bargaining chip for the Rockets, or
, Take it all out, or, switch to a team with salary cap space to see what you can get, and then add two to one to make five, and send it to the 76ers!
In Windhorst’s words, it was very difficult!
For the 76ers, both the contracts of Harris and Butler expired this summer. “CP” reporter Orense reported that the current 76ers general manager Brand has decided to re-sign Butler Harris this summer, but the 76ers
The Human side also stated that they will give priority to renewing Butler instead of Harris!
It is reported that Philadelphia is preparing to provide Butler with a five-year maximum contract, which is 190 million.
In this regard, McMahon stated: “I 99% believe that Philadelphia will give Butler a 5-year maximum salary. I am very confident in this!” McMullan confirmed the news!
Before that, Butler’s continuous relationship with the Rockets, including the meeting with Harden, including showing up in Houston, became Butler’s springboard?
For Butler, he has always said before that he hopes to get a maximum salary, but there seems to be no clear destination option for where to go. Of course, Houston, as his hometown, is also very good to be able to come to Houston
, But at this stage, if the 76ers can give Butler a maximum salary, it means that it will be more difficult for the Rockets to make a transaction, and more chips need to be added!
In this “big show” that lasted for two weeks, the Rockets seemed to become the background board, allowing Butler to successfully pressure the 76ers.
As long as Butler renews his contract with the 76ers with a maximum salary, it doesn’t matter where he goes. The maximum salary that Butler has been thinking about has become a reality.
Of course, rockets accelerated the development of this process.
For the Rockets, if they don’t have draft picks, they’ll lose the draft; if they don’t have salary space, they’ll try to put them on the shelves. If they don’t have enough bargaining chips, they’ll overdraw the future.
Morey, it’s pathetic too!
