Jimmy Butler:
  • Very, very good pure B-ball player
  • Team cancer with attitude that rubs too many people the wrong way
I don't want him on my team. But... there's almost no chance Boston is even interested, so it's not really my problem.

If they could I’d trade smart and rozier for him.

But they can’t so its moot.

Well... yeah.

He's a very good player... I don't hate him... I just wouldn't want to either 1.) have him take up a bunch of my cap space or 2.) trade equal value for him.

Only way the celts can deal for him.

So whatever. Someone else will bone that weak franchise that Townes stupidly committed to.

Team cancer is way too strong

Maybe... folks seem to get fed up with his BS more than most anyone else in the NBA, though.
Rondo, Boogie?

It's kinda like with Kobe and Shaq.

Kobe was a asshole about it.

But, as much as I loved him, Shaq was lazy.

Ditto for Wiggins.

See, I agree and have said similar before...

Everyone responds with that positionless basketball rant...

I can't remember who it was, may have been multiple folks....

But, they had the Lakers lineup at Lebron at PF, Ingram at SF and George at SG...lol

I think Jimmy is a 3.

But, he can lock down sg's just as easily.

I guess George could too.

There really isn't any difference at all between the 2 and 3 in today's NBA. If you can play 3, you can play 2. And vice versa.

The difference is that some traditional 3s like LeBron, George and Ingram can play 4 in smaller lineups.

My issue with Butler is that his game doesn't fit LeBron as well. He isn't as good a catch and shoot player as George is.

Rondo, Boogie?
Even if I give you those two, my statement still applies.

I wouldn't want any of them to be the leader on my team.

I agree. But, less so because of his attitude.

Imo.....Butler is not a #1.

If I had a legit #1 like Lebron, Durant, Curry...

Hell, even Giannis, I'd love to have Butler.

By himself at 39-44 mil per for the next 5 years, nah.

Some people defy sexual orientation.

The contrarian in me wants to throw out CJ McCollum, Lou Williams etc.

* which in pointing that out, I kinda did *

But, the non-asshole part of me knows those are exceptions and that you are correct.

How dare you.

LOL.

Sure. But if you did bring that point up, which you didn't, I would say that McCollum and Williams are combo guards. Both more like scoring 1s already playing 2.

But even then, I have defintely seen some NBA lineups the past couple years with Lou Williams sized players (or smaller) at the 3 spot. I am pretty sure Napier, McCOllum and Lillard all played together on occasion.

Avery Bradley is in that group too.

@bksballer89 , @Heatles84 , @TurnUpTheHeat .....

Richardson or Jimmy?

I like Josh.

But, Jimmy is better.

Jimmy is also older and wants 40 mil plus per.

Josh is on a reasonable deal.

What do you want to see happen?
