butler to okc

[bksballer89]

I just saw it on espn once he clear waivers on Sunday

The rich get richer, CBA works :rollseyes:

Yup, who'd a thunk Oklahoma was a destination for free agents. I think the first formula to draw talent is to have talent

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Very true, MIA was not a destination until Riley came in. It all starts with the owner hiring the right GM hiring the right people.

 

[LogicMan]

That seems to be the case in all sports these days. You need a plan, good owner, clear alignment, assets, smart coach and luck. Free agents today like Butler want to win now. It aint like Thunder have any legacy (which unfortunately for me as a Celtics fan is just not the draw anymore)

[Flauge]

LOL. Of course you do, you forget to put up links too.

This isn't as big a get as the name value would suggest because Butler has fallen off considerably the last 3 to 4 years on both sides of the ball. But he probably fills a bigger need for the Thunder more than any other team in that he bolsters what is in actuality, a pretty bland team talent wise once you get past Westbrook, Durant, and Ibaka. He'll definitely help any bench heavy units.

But what will help OKC out the most is if/when Scott Brooks ever implements more variance on offense other than heavy Durant/Westbrook isos or simple screens and flares. More than any other contender, they are so reliant on the pure talent dominance of their stars. It works in the regular season (its why Cleveland could win 60 games with Lebron) but can be troublesome when teams have time to gameplan over the course of the series.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

If he can continue to average 11PPG coming off the bench for OKC, that's a really solid signing.

 

[Wishbone]

Butler had a 38 point game this year. He can still ball.

 

[LogicMan]

I watched Coach Collins say he is a better acquisition that GRanger would have been.

OKC did well
