2018 NBA offseason

[TurnUpTheHeat]

what if say its something close to what is rumored--- Richardson, a protected first and some cap flotsam for Butler?

I’d be ok with that.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Kyrie's next bold statement will be that people have walked on Mars.

Close.
It will be that people have walked to Mars.

 

[Heatles84]

Why not? Not enough to give or just not enough interest?

Minnesota's asking for the house, Miami's not willing to budge. Once it came out that Butler's all for coming to Miami, I knew there was no chance. That, and Thibs seems to be a stubborn prick about this whole situation.

Need to see the protections and hope Butler resigns.

He's obviously better than Richardson so if we can only give up 1 player with decent protections for that 1st round pick, I'm cool with it

 

[The Derski]

That's because it's preseason. Can't evaluate him fairly until he's playing against teams @ full strength & navigating the long season.

I understand, the Suns did just beat the warriors and Durant and Curry played 25+ minutes each.

If the answer to this question is yes, you do the deal.

If it's no......




There aren’t too many contracts out there that have the value of Richardson’s deal. He’s in the first year of a four-year, $42 million extension he signed last offseason. That means Richardson is under a bargain contract for three more seasons after this one, and he’s making an average of $10.5 million in that time. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler is set to earn $20.4 million this season and will be looking to sign a five-year, $190 million extension with any team he’s traded to. That contract would come with a cap hit of $43 million in the final year of the deal, which is more than the entire value of Richardson’s four-year, $42 million extension. So yes, Butler is better than Richardson right now. But, how much better? Richardson will earn $42 million over the next four seasons, while Butler will make over $200 million over the next six seasons. Is the gap between Richardson and Butler that big?

Dude....the Clippers are 4-0 in the Pre Season.

It means Jack Shit.

Beating a squad fielding half of their starters s not a barometer for greatness.

Stop it.

Yeah, I really don't want to trade Richardson. Especially for Butler, whom although he'd be the best player on the Heat, he's not someone you're going to win a title with as the best player. He's more of a supporting all-star.

Are dopes really starting to brag about records in preseason? Sportshoopla at its finest.

Being great in the preseason is a jinx. Just look @ the Browns. They won the preseason Super Bowl last year & when the games really mattered they went 0-16.

Thank Hue Jackson!

Agree.

I would love to have him if I had a true #1.

The Clippers don't even have a #2.

I love Tobias.

He's a awesome #3 or 4 on a championship team.

Gallo?

He will be broken by game 5.

So, pass on Jimmy for 40 mil per.

[Mecca]

Da fuq is Thibbs thinking?


We are headed for a Sprewell vs. Carlisimo or Portis vs. Mirotic situation soon.

I think both He a Jimmy are gone by weeks end.

Sprewell. Now there's a dumbass from the past I forgot about.

 

[trojanfan12]

Don't you have a smartphone? Download the ESPN app & watch it on your phone.

I'm flattered that you think that I would know how to do that.

 

[Mecca]

Oh...Shit.

On the jump, they said Jimmy took the 3rd stringers and beat the brakes off the starters...Lmfao

 

[trojanfan12]

Wolves/Butler situation is making Spurs/Kawhi look like an amicable split.

 

[Wamu]

Oh...Shit.

The Twolves need to trade Bulter sooner rather than later.

Never thought of that, good point.

 

[Heatles84]

Says a lot when the 1st string includes KAT, Wiggins and Teague. Shows you the team dynamic is well.......soft.
