Jimmy Butler wants out of Minnesota

[Mecca]

We all pretty much knew this but it is now official.

Why wait a week before camp?

Lol you are equally clueless on the NBA forums....

Didn't you leave the NBA boards because you were getting ridiculed on literally a daily basis?

I would love the second trade. Most talent coming back would be the third one, but taking for Harris while Gibson is still there would create a logjam.

That deal is pure garbage. You really want to pay Russell next summer?

Lol you are equally clueless on the NBA forums.... no one wants Noah or the 2 years left on his contract

You know as much about NBA hoops as you do about politics, or pretty much anything else for that matter.

Butler says he wants to go to LAL, LAC or NYK. He and Kyrie Irving want to play together and they know it won't be Boston. Kyrie is a NY lover and everyone is 99% sure he'll be in NY next year, possibly before.

Ainge is hinting that he's getting sick of hearing this crap and just might ship his butt to NY. The Knicks want him and may just be willing to overpay. Celtics will win without him and may possibly do better without the "I'm Gone Next Year" attitude.

Knox stays dammit... I would offer the wolves the choice between Hardaway or Lee and next years number one... ( I know salaries need to match up so it would probably have to be Hardaway )... next years number one should be decent since the Knicks might not get KP aback before January or maybe the year. This is my Knicks homer proposed trade.

That Knicks pick is almost certain to be a top 5 pick. No way the Knicks do that without some protections.

Dude, nothing is ever that simple with the Clippers.

I would love to have both.

But, I would not want Butler alone @ max money.

All of this is just rumors.

So, we shall see.

 

[Mecca]

Yep. Dude is so damn mediocre

He has all the physical tools.

He's just doesn't appear to give a fuck about working hard.

 

[Mecca]

If he really wants that he shouldn't have named the Knicks, Nets or Clippers as teams he wants to go to.

There's only one thing he's after and that's $$$$$

All 3 Teams COULD have the ability to sign or trade for 2 max guys.

Getting paid is #1 on his list.

Playing with the max player of his choice is clearly #2.

Any team that trades for him gets his birds rights.

That takes care of #1.

Wondering if any good team is willing to do like OKC/TOR and take a huge risk by acquiring a top player who will be a FA at the end of the year.

Just like with San Antonio and Indiana, I'm pretty sure Minny don't care about the teams Butler wish to be traded to. The only job they have is to get the best trade to help their team.

It is a bit of a head scratchy type move by JB.....but hey, if he wants out they should grant him his wish. I'm sure Thibs doesn't want that distraction lingering throughout the season.

They have to get Towns signed.

I don't remember what the deadline is to him to sign is.

But, it's clear he won't until the Butler situation is settled.

The Clippers are bereft of talent. But, I don't think Jimmy is a good culture guy and I'm sure we'd have to give up SG-A and Harris to get him.

He's better than both.

But, he's coming off injury, is Damn near 30 and wants max money.

Pass.

That's my expectation.

My money is on Philly.

But, I kinda like him for Utah or Denver too.

Take him. Please! It will make up for Olawakandi!

He seems petulant.

Dude is a good 2 way player.

But, he alienates every locker room he's been in.

Seriously, when Rajon Rondo is the voice of reason and champion for the young guys, that really says something.

Plus, how many games will he miss?

I mean, we traded Blake because he wasn't durable enough @30 plus mil per.

But, we are looking to trade for a guy coming off a injury who wants 40 mil per?

Obviously, Jimmy doesn't have the extensive injury history as Blake.

But, he actually wanted to be a Clipper and that is a rare occurrence.

I love Jimmy as a player.

But, he's not a #1 and has a shitty disposition.

Giving up our youth and then missing on that 2nd max guy this Summer would be an epic fail.

You don't pay a guy 40 million a year to finish 11th in your conference.

Kawhi and Butler, hell yes.

Butler alone, nah.
