Objectively speaking, I don't think it's THAT ridiculous for those guys to pick Harden's MVP competition all three times. There's a fair case to be made for all three. Gotta remember that the MVP is, in fact, a stupid award that's based on more on narrative than performance. The narrative was definitely with Giannis this year.

Capela is good with a team-friendly contract, but I'm not sure Phily wants to burn their capspace on a backup to their best player. Embiid just put up 28/14/2.

Is Morey going scorched earth on his own team? How many assets do we have to give up AND pay Butler? Why add Butler anyway, let alone give up any assets? There have to be other options out there than just Butler. I don't get this move. With the money owed to Harden and Paul alone they have to spread out a lot of capital to fill out this roster.

Shoot, wasn't Lamb the cornerstone of what we gave up for Harden? I have no idea how he's progressed, but I like the completeness of that.

Trading EG and Capella (or God forbid Tucker) for a max contract Jimmy Butler won't make us better.

The MLE list looks like a bunch of guys that replace Clint and EG

The advanced metrics strongly favor Butler over EG, and it's not even close really. However, I could agree that giving up Clint for him as well would be tough.

Tucker ain't goin anywhere.

Replace him with deandre or Lopez for MLE

Milwaukee aint' letting Lopez walk. Especially for an MLE offer.

I dunno, they have a lot of guys that they gotta pay this offseason. Are you saying Lopez will be one of the guys they choose?

Yep, Milwaukee just paid Bledsoe and about to pay Middleton. Probably gotta let Lopez go. He ain't going to be as cheap as he was this year, that's for sure. I think Milwaukee is going to be stuck in the good but not good enough realm for a few years. (kinda like us, i guess). They're not going to attract any Free Agents.

I don't actually think the Rockets have a chance of landing Butler.

One of the better follows on Twitter when it comes to Rockets ball. Breaking down the Butler situation:

The reason they offloaded Tony Snell's contract was so they could re-sign Lopez to ~$12m. They can go over the cap to keep Brogdon and Middlton. Unless someone comes in with a ridiculous contract for Brogdon, they're keeping everyone, but I'm 100% certain they retain Lopez.

Seems to be a lot of KD and Kyrie to Brooklyn speculation. If that happens, I think DeAndre Jordan would likely take the 4.7 million mid level exception to play there.

Something has to change pretty dramatically with this team before next season starts if we want to win a title. There are a limited number of players that we can actually get AND will put us in title contention. Morey believes Butler is one of them.
